 Midwest Weavers Conference 2019 Recap & our Annual Stash Share/Sale Event August 17, 2019: Come hear about what took place at the past Midwest Weavers Conference.
Also this month we will have our annual stash cleanout. So bring what you want to give away or sell. If you want to donate any fiber or weaving items to the guild for us to sell and bank the profits for our treasury, that would be great. We will start the sale after the regular meeting and program. Now is the time to clean out your storage bins, shelves and tools and bring them to the August 17th meeting! Bateman Weaves with Dagmar Frerking June 15, 2019: Bateman Weaves
This program will look at Dr. Bateman's achievements in developing new weave systems and the history of how patterns based on these systems became available to today's weavers. We will go over some of the publications based on Dr. Bateman's work and look at woven samples.  Member Favorites
May 18, 2019: Please think about what are your favorites related to weaving. It can be anything from a favorite loom, structure, pattern, yarn, tool, book, etc. Bring your favorite to this next meeting, if possible, and be prepared to explain why it is your favorite.  Introduction to Pin Loom Weaving with Dagmar Frerking
April 20, 2019: This month's program will be an introduction to Pin Loom Weaving. It will look at different types of looms, including how to make your own, and the two basic types of pin loom weaving: the regular 4-step vs. continuous strand weaving. We will also look at how to achieve patterning and finally at ideas on what all can be made out of pin loom weavings. I would like to ask everyone who has a pin loom to please bring it, as well as any weavings you have done on it.  Weaving with Handspun with Jessica Madsen
March 16, 2019: Do you spin your own yarn? Do you purchase handspun yarn? Jessica Madsen will present ideas on how to use this special yarn in your projects.  Cut Pile Carpet by Anne Reaves February 16, 2019: In the spirit of catching up by having both January’s (Challenge) and February’s programs in February, I will give a brief history of cut pile carpets. Then I will give cardboard “looms” to participants to try out the cut pile knots on a simple design while January’s program is underway. If you’d like to try it, bring a pair of small, sharp scissors and 8/2 wool leftovers (or something equivalent.) If you want to use your own small loom, warp 10 threads per inch (makes 5 knots).
