May: Penney Rugs, Ann Pyper
The program for May will provide a great opportunity to learn the history of Penny rugs. Ann Pyper will share her knowledge and collection of Penney Rugs with us. Check out the workshop that will be given by Ann later that day. You can make a Penny “rug” if you like but you can learn to the technique to make something far less ambitious – a table decoration in you own style. You just never know when the techniques you learn can be applied to your fiber creation! Having a warehouse of possibilities makes creating all the more fun.
When we meet again in September, plan on sharing the adventures you had during the summer. Did you learn new fiber techniques? Did you visit an interesting gallery or shop? Did you take classes or a workshop? What inspiration “hit you”? You can even share something you did that isn’t fiber related! We want to know! Heaven forbid if you actually finished an UFO! Share that too!
October: Braided Rugs, Gretchen Ramsay
This month, Gretchen Ramsay will present a program on her passion – braided rugs. Are you thinking that maybe some braiding would look good with a felted piece or….? Again, you never know when you will have an ah-ha moment to incorporate another medium into your fiber creation.
