President’s Message….
Hello to you all.
I hope you all enjoyed the program by Janet and
Sallie last month. I was sorry to miss their
presentation!
I hope you are finding inspiration for your weav-
ing and spinning. Last month I encouraged you
to note our Spring Season for future inspira-
tion. We are also coming up on the due date for
our yearly weaving challenge at our June lunch-
eon. Janet encouraged you all to use an artist’s
painting or creation upon which to base your
weaving project. Our tradition is to show and
share our projects at our June lunchon. There’s
still time for you to put on a warp and weave a
towel for our challenge. I look forward to seeing
all of your projects and their inspirations.
Keep weaving, spinning, dyeing and creating!
Kathleen Waln
IEHG President

We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the
pattern which was weaving when the sun went
down is weaving when it comes up in the morning.

2017 Guild Challenge
2017 IEHG Challenge!!
• Find a favorite piece of artwork. It can be a painting, sculpture, tapestry, mural, architecture, music, and so on...
• What is it about this piece of art that moves or inspires you? Is it the colors, textures, design elements, use of
positive and negative space and so on... maybe even the subject matter.
• Pick your colors and weave structure to reflect your response to the art piece.
• We will do this as another towel exchange in June. This was such a fun event last June. Towels are not such a
personal item that we can't all love each and everyone of them to use in our kitchen or other chosen location!
In June you will have your picture and share your inspiration with the other luncheonettes
as your towel is won!
