March Fiber Hour and Monthly Meeting

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 guild members met at the Hauberg Center for our first meeting on our new scheduled night.

The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease has a HeartScarves program calling for red scarves to be given to women whose lives have been touched by heard disease.  Take a look at their site and send your opinion on our participation in the comments section below.   http://www.womenheart.org/

It's a new year and we are going to need some programs planned for the coming months.  If you have a request or would like to present a technique, let us know!  Diana Kreider will be talking about our new blog you are reading now at the April 6th meeting.  Be sure to remember your show and tell items.  We will be bringing a camera to document the meetings in digital format to share on the blog.

Midwest Weavers Conference will be upon us before we know it.  The guild exhibit is going to be based on the "Aurora Borealis."  We have been throwing around ideas at the last two meetings and welcome more input.  We decided that we really need to decide what we are doing by May.

The program for the March meeting zeroed in on the importance of Electronic Media and Fiber to weavers and spinners.  Elaine gave us a chip off the iceberg to get us thinking about all the resources to be found on the web.  Websites shared include:
