Meeting.

Out of the guild membership of 40+ it took 7 members to have the largest vote for the decision to be made concerning the Sheep to Shawl. Sadly, it was a poor turnout for the Guilds meeting last Monday night. The Christmas Sale was also on the agenda. I wondered where everyone was.... I admit I went home at the coffee break not staying for the Show and Tell and Program. It was 9.30pm. I am getting too old to stay up that late!

Salmon Arm's Knitting Shop

On a sleety Monday morning 6 of us joined Glenda at her house for a few hours of knitting. After a good chat and lunch we followed Glenda, driving like a funeral procession, to Salmon Arm's knitting shop that none of us knew existed. The store sells mainly online but will open by appointment. There was a lot of choice of fibre and speciality novelty yarns. Check it out. http://www.woolneedlework.com

Christmas Aprons

Thursday 22nd October approx 12 members met at Judiths house to make our Christmas Aprons. We made a great team, measuring and cutting the material, sewing straps and pockets, pressing and then sewing the pieces together. Judith kept us supplied with tea, coffee and homebaked cookies. Then at lunchtime produced some delicious homemade tomato soup and bread, you spoilt us. Thank you Judith for the use of your home. Unfortunately we did not finish all the aprons so another workbee will be held tomorrow. Thursday 5th November at Judiths 1 -4pm.

CANCELLED

The workbee will now be held Thursday 12 November 1-4pm at Judiths

Looms for sale

Hi Judith, I have been contacted by Cindy Dixon who has a 45"- 4 shaft Le Clerc jack loom for sale - some assembly required - for about $200.00. Also, a Cherriville 60" loom for Free - needs to be assembled and there may be some question about wheather it is square. She lives on the corner of Canyon Rd. and ? Her phone # is 546-6084. These need to be gone by Nov. 1. WE have a new member who could be interested in the Le Clerc loom but needs to see it first. Suzanne has said that she can drop them off in her garage if she can get them to town. Thought that you might know someone at the SA guild who might be interested. Caryll (250-545-3392)

October 'Spin in'

Seven guild members joined Marcia at her house last Tuesday for a 'spin in'. It was good to see everyone after the summer break. Thank you Marcia for your hospitality. The apple flan was delicious.

Marcia telling her jokes and 'tall stories'!

Correction

Noelle would like to bring to your attention that the 'spin in' at her house is on this Thursday 22 not next Monday as written in the minutes. (see Post below minutes)

Workshop Update

We'd like to inform you all that Marcia now holds the office of "Workshop Coordinator." Thank you very much for that, Marcia!

It turns out that Marcia actually volunteered to do workshops at the meeting but neither myself nor Gabriele heard her. I guess that either means that Marcia is too sweet, too demure, and too soft-spoken, or we all talk too much, too loud, and too often!
Either way, we're very happy she has volunteered. Gabriele has inserted her name in the minutes to reflect the correction.

If anyone of you have any workshop wishes or ideas, please let Marcia know.

Thanks again, Marcia.
