May 2018 Newsletter

ANWG President's Message

Spring is upon us as I look out toward the snow covered Cascade Mountains in Central Oregon.  Sunshine one day, snow the next seems to mark the beginning of spring in Bend.  I’ve been fortunate already this year to take a weaving workshop lead by Linda Davis on Weaving Tartans.  We had a great weekend of learning new techniques and discovered there are thousands of registered tartans and beautiful plaid color combinations to keep any weaver busy, Scottish or not.  My tartan is called ‘Rainbow 2’ and was fun to weave in 5/2 cotton as a table runner.​

​More regional workshops, events, and conferences are coming up shortly, along with the Annual Membership Meeting in Portland on Saturday, May 19. I hope to meet many of you there.  We will have a business meeting, committee reports, the 2019 Conference report, Show and Share, and announce the winners of the 2018-19 Challenge Grant Awards.  
HGA’s Convergence in Reno will be here in early July.  ANWG will have a meet and greet at that event on Sunday, July 8 from 5:30-6:30 PM at the Peppertree Hotel.  Stop in and say hi and meet others from the ANWG region in attendance.

Enjoy this newsletter full of guild reports and events, and be sure and visit our new, updated website often this year for the latest news and information.   https://northwestweavers.org

Woven together,
