MAY 2008 MEETING
May 15, 2008
Annual Luncheon

The Guild supplies all tableware, but all the goodies are pot-luck. Please plan on attending, as the luncheon and fashion show are always a lot of fun!

Don't forget that we will also hold our annual "Moth Market" of any fiber related tools, books, etc. that you might like to part with. Ten percent of the proceeds go to the Guild.
Come prepared with your dish to pass and your appetite! Board members-please bring a dessert or a bread. All other members-be creative and bring your favorite appetizer, entree, salad or vegetable.

Fashion Show
You won't have to walk the runway but we will have an informal fashion show of your "wearable" hand-made items. So please wear (and "wear" is a very loose term) something you have made to show off.

In addition to our regular luncheon and fashion show, member Sally Erickson will present a short program about a dye workshop she attended in Tucson in April. Sally will share her experiences in working with natural and plant dyes in a 2-1/2 day workshop with Jane Hoffman. This was part of the "Fibers Through Time" Conference. Sally has pictures and samples to show, and stories to tell about her experiences there.
