“It’s May, it’s May, That wonderful month of May…”  Every year this song from Rogers and Hammerstein twinkles in my brain.  Like an ode of thanks for coming through a busy year, and looking brightly to a summer schedule of workshops, travel and warm weather regeneration.

​

WGB enjoyed an exciting year of programs, workshops, sales opportunities and special offers from our sponsors.  Thank you to all the volunteers, members, individual donors and sponsors who have made these activities possible.  With new volunteers joining the ranks to carry on the tasks, the Guild will be able to offer these benefits and strengthen friendships within the community of weaving enthusiasts.  We are thankful for your support.

​

What adventures are in store for you this summer?  Workshops and lectures from our recent year may have provided a technique to practice and include in your projects.  Keeping the gift giving season in mind, maybe you will weave things for family and friends as well as the WGB Annual Sale in November. Perhaps you will travel to a new place and find inspiring textile artifacts in a museum or as part of local markets.  Maybe there is a new baby in the family to weave beautiful blanket for.  When you come back to meeting in September, bring your projects to show and tell us “What you did on your summer vacation!”
