Many projects that are due shortly; guild booth project, presents and trials for other projects to come. I must always have something 'next' to weave. SCHG is a guild that I have been a member of on and off for more than 30 years. Most recently, in the last 10 years, I have been 'on'. I have come to know many different weavers and enjoy being with them in workshops or working at making the guild a fun place to be. We have extraordinary talents among us. I am pleased and proud to be this year's President." |
| Barbara Minear |
Barbara has served as the Guild's Treasurer. Barbara says:
My mother started weaving when she retired, but I wasn't the least bit interested, although I loved knitting, crocheting, and embroidery. Several years after she died I saw a gorgeous multi-colored long "vest" (my "Joseph" coat) at the Santa Monica Arts and Crafts show -- and my husband bought it for me. Two months later (December, 1992) we got Mom's "Dorothy" loom out of my sister's attic in Connecticut and shipped it home. Soon I found a weaving class at Barnsdahl Park; I used Mom's loom so I didn't have to wait until Saturday to weave -- I was hooked! |
