*Weaving Study Group

A weaving study group meets an hour and a half before regular guild meetings.  People bring their portable looms to work on weaving projects or use the time to use the guild library.

If you have a weaving topic you'd like help with, phone Nancy Ellison at 507-732-281 ahead of time so she can bring information or samples from her files.
