Reed & Weave September 2018 Edition

President’s Letter . . .

Hi There!

Summer is winding down. Some schools

are starting up in the next week or so. I hope

you have had a productive summer and sur-

vived the various heat waves.

Thank you Janet for hosting the August

meeting.

On Saturday, September 29, we have an

opportunity to demonstrate at the museum

from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM. It is always fun to

demonstrate at the museum and to share our

work with the public. In addition, when we

demonstrate at the museum, we are fulfilling

our responsibility to the museum so we can

continue to meet there. This year we have

been asked to do a sheep to shawl. Since

there is not enough time to actually do a com-

plete sheep to shawl, the plan is to show the

various steps involved. We need people to

card, spin, weave, and knit. We also need

people to help with the hands on projects for

the public to try. There is something for eve-

ryone to do.

Please contact Suzanne Chappell and vol-

unteer for something or let her know at the

next meeting. I look forward to seeing you on

September 29th and at our next guild meeting.

August Meeting at Janet Castro’s

Janet Castro’s — August 2018 Meeting

Janet Castro’s and Carol Bingaman’s Trip to Turkey & Uzbekistan, April 2018

Demonstration Day at the Museum Saturday, September 29

Noon – 4 p.m. Calling all volunteers! IEHG will be demonstrating at the San Bernardino County Museum on

September 29. A Saturday was requested because the attendance in higher than on Sunday.

The museum coordinators wanted us to do a modified sheep to shawl like we did in 2017, but 4 hours is not enough time to spin, ply and weave even a scarf. But we’ll try to have all the steps of the process demonstrated.

A sheep will not be shorn, but we’re hoping to have two sheep, one shorn and the other fully

dressed. We would like to have a full fleece on display. We will demonstrate cleaning and card-ing (by hand or using a carder), spinning, plying and many of the activities that can be done using the yarn. That would include knitting, crocheting, naalbinding, weaving on shaft, rigid

heddle or inkle looms, card weaving and felting.

We will also need volunteers to help with children’s activities using yarn or fiber. Kumihimo cords on a disk, weaving potholders and perhaps one other activity will be offered. Let me know of any ideas you have that are easily learned in a short time span.

The Inland Empire Chapter of the Embroiderers Guild of America may also be demonstrating.

If so, they could have a simple activity using wool yarns. So weavers and spinners, bring a project you are working on and be prepared to show visitors

the process and maybe let them try their hand at it. Sallie usually brings a 4-shaft loom for kids, and I bring a rigid heddle loom for them to try as well. This event will be advertised, so

we're hoping for a good turn out of children and adults. I will have a sign-up sheet at the IEHG meetings. Please contact me if you have ideas for ac-

tivities, and/or want to volunteer.

Please consider volunteering. It is always lots of fun!
