The Charlottesville Fiber Arts Guild

At the September 10th meeting, Barbara Tafuni ran a workshop for making lavender wands.  See a bit of our progress below:

This month’s meeting centered on inkle loom weaving.

We also brought in our fidget quilts for Our Lady of Peace:

Also, thanks to Sharon for sending in her photos from the meeting.  If anyone else would like to share fiber guild-related photos, I’ve set up a Flickr group

Here are a few photos and links from the Charlottesville Fiber Arts Guild August meeting. The theme for this meeting was recycling and crafting with leftover objects.

Here is some handspun yarn plyed with leftover cord. The box holds tiny wool scraps saved to be added to a future spinning project.

These crocheted bags were made with plarn, which is strips of plastic bags.

The Charlottesville Fiber Arts Guild webpage is, as you might have guessed, in flux.

Bear with me as I get things settled into place.  There is yet much WordPress tweakery and content twiddling to be done!
