Topic: Spinning & Plying Novelty Yarns

Ten members were present.
Larisa will work on a new design for our guild logo and business card.

Jennifer and Glynda went to The Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival and had a good time. They brought back two packages of specialty fibers for today's door prize drawing. Thanks, Jennifer and Glynda!

Larisa has a bag of Jiffy Stitchery kits that are free for anyone interested. The kits will be stored in the guild cabinet for now.

I have a quantity of wine corks if anyone wants some for crafting. Just ask!
