Due to the upcoming fleece prep workshop on April 12 & 13, there is no specific program planned for the April meeting. Bring a project of your choice to work on. Minutes of the March 2024 Meeting Ann Growley called the meeting to order. Chris Cornell gave the treasurer’s
report and the minutes from the February meeting were approved. Old
Business: Marje Koehlert passed a sample guild apron that met with general
approval. The cost will be $26.50, including tax, and orders will be taken in April. A
motion was carried to use guild funds, likely available from our April workshop, to
purchase 10 additional aprons to be available for purchase by incoming guild members.
Maddie Mumford continues updating our email list. If you are not receiving guild emails,
please contact her with your updated email address. New Business: We discussed possible topics for April, May and June, including card weaving and wool combing. Show & Tell: Donna Volponi passed a garter stitch cotton tea towel. Maureen Clark showed a knit-in-the-round project in charcoal gray with a variegated rose purple color. Karen Fry made two more pouches with pockets, dividers and many embellishments for family members living in other states. Tina Hays brought several bags of newly spun and plied wool. She also showed several canvas totes with needle felted designs, and a bag full of needle felted flowers in every color. Meghan Beichner shared a ribbed watch cap she knit from a 70-30 angora blend, a large skein of BFL, and two dyed braids. Phyllis Lord passed a large scarf woven on her rigid heddle. For the yarn, she spun many small balls of fiber in a random color sequence then plied it with itself. Tami Tenpas showed a skein in blues and purples done from wool from the Western New York fiber festival, as well as a skein dyed with food colors. Adrianne Hills and Ann Growley both finished their button from our meeting last month, and Ann also brought a skein spun from cormo and merino. Elizabeth Tomcho passed a skein spun from the fur of Beans, her dog, which she had professionally processed. She is also finishing a twotone blue crocheted afghan for her sister.

Kim Smolinsky is working on a crocheted baby blanket, and she has just finished processing 22 pounds of fiber for upcoming shows. Barb Frye has begun a large crazy chicken folk art rug. Stephanie Rechtenwald continues working on a macrame fireplace garland. Marje Koehlert displayed a number of handmade fiber-working tools in preparation for today’s presentation.

Chris Cornell showed cable-lace socks that started as some of Kim Smolinsky’s rolags, and she modeled a cardigan in natural brown with dusty blue, green and rose accents. Jane Lenart brought an Aran sweater she dyed to get a very specific color of red, and she passed several necklaces she made utilizing Lake Erie beach glass found on walks with her daughter.
