GUILD ROAD TRIP </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(or was that a Guilt trip ?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On September 27th, 6 of us in 2 cars had a wonderful day in Prince Edward County.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We traveled the scenic route from Cobourg (Highway #2) to Bloomfield where we stopped for coffee and a snack for some.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From there we headed to Picton, braved the construction on the demolished main street and visited Rose Haven Yarn Shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No pictures from the shop, since we were all too busy perusing and shopping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Travelling through lovely countryside to Lake on the Mountain for lunch. A kindly tourist took our picture in the parking lot.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feeling fully sated with food and beverage, we headed east and arrived at Waupoos winery.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After a tasting, some of us couldn't wait to get the wine home.</div>

Next stop was the apple orchard across the road for a cider tasting, then an artisan cheese factory and finally the Oenos Gallery, where we enjoyed the outdoor sculpture garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was called "The Hunt" - all metal sculptures.</div>

We planned all kinds of interesting and fun things to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They'll include making wreaths with mixed media at our December meeting, teaching new spinners Lis and Anita to ply, weaving baskets from paper ribbon, mosaic fibre pictures, triaxial weaving and maybe even some fun dyeing methods in the spring.</div>

Since we wanted to support the 2016 Port Hope Fair in celebrating their 185th anniversary with our guild display in September, we thought we should get to work on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So................ the spinners will try to spin 185 KILOMETERS of yarn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the weavers will try to weave 185 METERS of fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHEW!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been collecting used T-shirts to strip into fibre for the weft and members have donated cotton warp thread from their stashes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This meeting was to get started winding warps and stripping the T-shirts.</div>

BASKET WEAVING WORKSHOP</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
October 20, 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We car-pooled to Nichols Cove Studio (north of Buckhorn, ON), to attend a workshop led by basket maker, Sandi McNeil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a glorious fall day - just perfect for this workshop to be held outdoors.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were greeted by one of the owners of the property - Tundra.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After brief instruction indoors, we headed out to the firepit area to start our "fish" baskets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First we stripped dogwood and willow branches of their leaves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinC7sXMNTGX_LQhKRsJvPkWFJ6AgEVJUcNgPY26p2SZ-FM_GnR1VMRBPjTrDhhAQ428yLiTjDrr5Y3s8xqCsg4rDYxSAxdz2fxJCxiPvSTXcNTSHuoF7oHgJvHu8xHinwrhYaqhnUL8DeL/s1600/Stripping+leaves+from+the+willow+branches.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinC7sXMNTGX_LQhKRsJvPkWFJ6AgEVJUcNgPY26p2SZ-FM_GnR1VMRBPjTrDhhAQ428yLiTjDrr5Y3s8xqCsg4rDYxSAxdz2fxJCxiPvSTXcNTSHuoF7oHgJvHu8xHinwrhYaqhnUL8DeL/s320/Stripping+leaves+from+the+willow+branches.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then Sandi taught us how to use the grapevines collected by Kim and Mara, to make the frame for the baskets and to use the willow and dogwood branches for spokes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once we had completed the basics, we headed indoors for a wonderful pot-luck lunch in the studio, where we were joined by our instructor Sandi, and another of the owners of the property, Carol Nichol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After lunch we carried on with the actual weaving of the baskets, using cedar bark, dogwood and willow "weavers", daylily and siberian iris leaves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We finished our baskets and showed them off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We even decided on another, rather non-traditional, use for the baskets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although some of us were still out and about, travelling all over........ some of us met for our first official meeting of the new season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We chatted and socialized, ate delicious treats, admired our hostess Anita's beautiful residence and also managed to make plans for our programmes for the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First and foremost will be the Port Hope Fall Fair, from September 18th to 20th. We will share a display table with the Northumberland Hooks and Needles Guild, just like every other year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will take turns on Saturday and Sunday with demonstrations of spinning and weaving.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, we will demonstrate at the Roseneath Fall Fair on the 26th of September. This will be out first experience at this Fair and we are looking forward to it. Maybe we will even get to ride on the Carousel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In October, we hope to travel to the Buckhorn area for a basketry workshop. The date and times are still being arranged.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a picture of us demonstrating at Cindy Osland's farm last season, during her hosting a farm tour.</span></div>

What a great day !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather cooperated so well and we were able to dye with Black Walnuts outside at Kim's place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had 4 dyepots with 4 different dye lots, so to speak. All the walnuts for each of the 4 pots were collected in different areas and soaked for differing time periods.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a "horizontal" dye experiment.</div>

Here are the results! It was very interesting to see that all the dyepots gave different results. Especially interesting was Shirley's 3 year old "walnut liquor" which dyed the skeins grey, not brown.</div>

Our April meeting saw few of us attending - some were away, others fighting a bug or two.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Wendy had prepared a colour blending workshop for us using Deb Menz' book "Color in Spinning" as a reference. Those in attendance really enjoyed the process. </div>
<div align="center">
Wendy has more ideas about blending for colour. We'll have to revisit this topic next season when hopefully more of us can attend and enjoy.</div>

Haven't posted for a while, but we've been busy.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
First of all - we had a display in the showcases of the Cobourg Public Library for the month of March. Astrid, Kim and Mara set it up and it looked great!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
They gave us 2 side by side display cases to use.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All of us do so much more than just spin and weave and we thought that this would be a more appropriate name for our group. </div>

Although the weather wasn't cooperative for either our scheduled December Pot-Luck </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or for our monthly January meeting, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
we were able to get together at Mara's for a fun day on the 19th of January.</div>

Pat Leclair, of Dyeing For Colour Fibre Works, arrived with a car full of fibres and yarns, just in time for the great pot luck lunch.</div>

Our guild project this season was the exchange of 100 gms of fibre at the October 2011 meeting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The recipient had to spin the fibre supplied by someone else and then make something from it. At this get-together, we gave back the finished 100 gm creations.</div>

June 14th was a "fun day" at Shirley's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The weather was beautiful and we went to work on Shirley's deck, surrounded by her beautiful gardens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Joy taught us how to make little felted vessels, by wrapping fibre around plastic disks and wetting it with soap and water and then rubbing, rubbing, smoothing, rubbing some more - until it felted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On May 26th, a number of us joined Nancy at her Open House / Shearing / Fibre Mania Day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a great day for all, but a bit disappointing in that the turn-out of fibre enthusiasts was not as great as last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Margaret wove this fabulous shawl from the yarn the guild members had spun. The fleece was donated by "Tom Brown" - one of Nancy's wonderful alpacas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shawl will be raffled off in September with proceeds going to "Hearth Place" - a support group for cancer survivor/thrivers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Interestingly - Tom was being sheared that day and the publice could see the shawl and Tom's fleece "in the raw" at the same time.</div>

Margaret had a beautiful shawl she had created on her newly made tri loom. It was inspiring to see all the creativity in the room.<br />Yvonne began the Musical Wheel session. Each member was to talk about their wheel, why it was purchased, and what they liked about the wheel. We then went around the room to test drive all the different wheels. Some wheels spun fast, some wheels were good for making certain yarns, some wheels were made for easy traveling. One of the wheels that impressed some more experienced spinners was the antique wheel that Mara brought it. This wheel was made in Quebec in 1910. It was a very fast wheel, metal footman and tilt tension and double drive.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEUCR8hjB7CqGTGBIz-x9SHXq9OfVzaBnYbprHlpSecEydmqeW4b9ZBSLFBO3P6x4xosAv4o83iJIzctnlLMf-Qx7UInXAIgESOFiJwm1X281RyWTqA-F8Ag6H4a5RUqHoZdsXw2sBhuiA/s1600/P1010005.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEUCR8hjB7CqGTGBIz-x9SHXq9OfVzaBnYbprHlpSecEydmqeW4b9ZBSLFBO3P6x4xosAv4o83iJIzctnlLMf-Qx7UInXAIgESOFiJwm1X281RyWTqA-F8Ag6H4a5RUqHoZdsXw2sBhuiA/s320/P1010005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629168686330941154" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Yvonne is having her test driving session on the Quebec wheel.<br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBchBZdiKULKzxsnSXYEcWQKLi-il8gtWqr7lzHMShwo-DW7HWNISA_vOHQzzCDajABHltHwVJOL9rxffVUq01F8IJPeAftm_mtjj54LkkOBGh_4OlNNUsk3cfO3MfqCaLWXpaGbZJR9Gl/s1600/P1010004.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBchBZdiKULKzxsnSXYEcWQKLi-il8gtWqr7lzHMShwo-DW7HWNISA_vOHQzzCDajABHltHwVJOL9rxffVUq01F8IJPeAftm_mtjj54LkkOBGh_4OlNNUsk3cfO3MfqCaLWXpaGbZJR9Gl/s320/P1010004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629169367350907410" border="0" /></a>Joy trying Margret's Lou a Victoria which she purchased second hand.
