Special Sample Service
Kudos to Sue Fandel and all the people who worked on the the Sample Service. Thanks to the many contributions and hard work the Sample Service was able to donate $352.50 to the CNCH Scholarship Fund, to say nothing of all the wonderful samples that went home with weavers. It's time to start weaving for 2010.
Complex Weavers is planning an article on "Weaving Legends"
highlighting Mary Elizabeth Laughlin and asked on WeaveTech for anecdotes about her.
M. E. was a member of Loom and Shuttle. Anyone with stories about M.E. and Frosty should share them. They can either e-mail the editor of the Complex Weavers Journal, Linda Davis: tomlin-AT-bendcable-dot-com
or call Marlene Golden (415-665-6402) and she'll forward your information.
