Reflections, assessments and adjustments

​

The new year is time to reflect on the activities of the Guild, assess challenges, consider recommendations for streamlining procedures and adjust to improved ways of working together.   Joining a volunteer organization comes with an opportunity to participate in the community of learning, and a responsibility to offer a helping hand.   Your help as a volunteer, gives a sense of continuity to the important tasks to keep the Guild vital.  When I first rejoined WGB in 2018, one person asked me to help on a committee, and I continued to find fulfilling roles within the Guild. The support and friendships that I have found within the WGB, have strengthened me personally and professionally. As our Guild continues, I encourage you all to find your niche and work together.

As I hunker down for the big snow storm, coming tomorrow,  I have chosen to finish the open warp tapestry that I started in the 2025 workshop with Robbie Lafleur. Inspired by the flock of swans in my backyard bay and the Frida Hansen tapestry, titled Sorover, (Southward).  It’s something that I can still work on if the power goes out?!
