March Meeting

Fellow fiber enthusiasts - it's time to meet to plan our events for 2009! Our March meeting will be on Monday, March 9 and held at Upper Room Studio in Berlin - the new fiber shop run by Monika and Lisa Lilley. Meeting time is 6:00 p.m.

Claire from the Julia A. Purnell museum will be talking a bit about Snow Hill's Community Loom Project. If you have any fabric scraps or left over yarns you'd be willing to donate, they would be greatly appreciated.

Upper Room Studio is located at 8525 Logtown Road in Berlin. See this Google map for directions. Please drop me a note if you can attend so we can get a rough estimate on the number attending. If you have not yet paid your dues for 2009, please plan to pay them at the meeting. (Membership is $10 per person for one year).

Got Scraps?

>

Do you have bags or baskets of fabric scraps in need of a good home? Here is a chance to put them to good use:

Each year the town of Snow Hill sponsors a community art project to engage residents in a town-wide art endeavor that reflects the character and history of the town. For 2009 the Snow Hill Arts & Entertainment Committee will be leading the creation of a series of circular weavings on community looms.

The committee is in need of scrap fabric for use in this project. They can be dropped off at the Julia A. Purnell Museum in Snow Hill during the week, or call Claire at the museum to inquire, 410-632-0515. The committee is holding a work session on Monday, March 9 at 2pm at the Old Fire Station in downtown Snow Hill. We will be sorting out the donated materials. Anyone interested in being part of the project is invited to join in.
