Date: Saturday, November 9, 2024
Time: 10:00am to 2:00pm
Location: Hoover Church of Christ, 3248 Lorna Road, Hoover, in the church library
Our program this month is: “Discovering a ‘Lost’ Art” with Julibeth Jones
Tatting is often described as a ‘lost art’. Is it really? …and if so, how did a ‘tween manage to come upon it and pick up a shuttle? Take a walk down memory lane with Guild member, Julibeth Jones as she shares snippets of tatted lace lore and her own story of discovery. The program will conclude with a screen‑projected demonstration. Shuttles and thread will be available for those interested in seeing if they, too, will ‘flip’ for this lacey craft. Books (including two 100+ year old tatting books/pamphlets), tools, threads, and work samples will also be on display.
Please note that we are meeting in the church library this month, so look for signs and people to point you in the right direction. Enter through the main entrance instead of the basement entrance.
Name-tags
If you don’t have a name-tag or would like to replace your current one, look for the bucket of name-tag supplies at each meeting. If you would like to add something special of your own to the tag, don’t forget to bring it to the meeting.
Coming in December: Yarn Ball
Just a heads up so you can prepare, December’s meeting will be the Yarn Ball. Please wear your Favorite Fiber themed Festive Frock. For the gift exchange, please bring a “favorite item” of fiber tools or accessories, with a goal value of around $15. We’ll have a potluck lunch of finger food. Also note the following time change: the meeting will be from 11:30am - 2pm.
It’s time to Choose the board for next year. If you would be interested in serving on the board please let us know by responding to this email, so that we can talk to you about which positions are available.
