NOBO Handweavers

We, Ladies of the Draft & Lady Margaret, have attempted to organize our guild meeting time so that it is as productive as possible.  This time pie is a visual breakdown of how we see future meetings running.  Let us know if you have suggestions.

PLEASE CLICK on this link to zoom in on the pie – http://wcs.pair.com/NOBO/Time_Pie.jpg

Rose Corrigan, first to step forth and be our Lady Calendar aka Calendar Girl, will be on the lookout for fiber events AND will add them to our website calendar.  Please share any fiber-related activities, near and far, with Rose.

Gail Gentile has identified the lack of and agreed to fill the much needed position of … Town Crier.  Gail will be pronouncing the main agenda of upcoming meetings and “posting a notice” on our website.  She will do this well in advance of the meeting so everyone will know what is planned for the evening.  Some surprises are still guaranteed though!

I was just checking out the CafePress site, and found some new products.

I’ve added these to the regular NOBO CafePress site:  http://www.cafepress.com/NOBOHandweavers

A NOBO Handweaver’s Apron, perfect for those time when you want to cook or do some fiber dyeing!

A NOBO Handweaver’s Beach Tote…because…like…we’re near the beach.

And a NOBO Handweavers Economy-priced tee.  Great for giveaways or for those times when you need to have something more economically-priced.

All of these items are available and priced at cost.

This is a reminder that our guild meeting has been scheduled for

this Tuesday, 10/20. We will hear Mary Underwood tell us about

Mongolian felting and lifestyles. 7 PM as always, at A Loom With A View!

I have finally confirmed a date with Ralph Hartwell who will be our speaker for the September ’09 meeting.  As we discussed at previous meetings, Ralph is not available on Thursday nights.  Therefore the September NOBO meeting will be held on Monday, September 21st, usual time 7 – 9 PM, at A Loom with a View.

Ralph has many years of experience as a handweaver.  His special love is tartan weaving and he is the designer of the NH state tartan. This is sure to be a fascinating talk, one that is sure to get us all fired up to weave tartan. See you there!
