6- 2021 Greater Birmingham Fiber Guild Meeting Announcement
Meet us on the second Saturday of June, 2021
Date: June 12, 2021 Time: 10:00am until 12:00pm
Place: Zoom Room 2021(See access information below)
Program: Tools and Large Collections Show and Tell
Dust off that large lovely collection of Spindles, Knitting needles, Crochet hooks, Shuttles, Looms, Bobbins, Rug hooks, Wheels and other fiber centric tools and be ready to show off what you've got! We want to see what you use to create with- particularly things you would not be likely to bring to an In-Person meeting!
Keep your presentation down to 5 minutes or less so we can get around to everyone who wants to share, please.
! Mailed-To-Your-Door-Prize!: A random number generator will be used to choose two members from the membership list. The winner will have the prize mailed to them at the home address on the guild member directory! All members will be included!
You do not have to be present to win!
Our July meeting will be a Casual Sit and Knit (or crochet, spin, whatever) via Zoom.
Since we do not usually meet in July, there is no planned program.
