Last month we had the joy of seeing each other again smiling under sunny skies at the pavilion at Boston Pond in Hancock.
With a great turnout, most of us brought new and old objects to show off in-person, like this small vessel by Karen T. Not everything shown is pictured or explained in this post, so if we forgot something important please let us know.
Dawn showed this shawl she made and brought many woolen goodies to share with the rest of us. In fact, this meeting was full of sharing, from plant starts, to felted sweater material, to homemade niddy-noddys!
Phyllis showed us the carpets that tormented her this winter as well as many of her crochet color studies that she continues to work on.
Laura showed us books and a needle case that she completed.
Though she hasn't been knitting or weaving much, Clare recently finished sewing this Woolfork dress for herself. The pattern is from the book Embody by Jacqueline Cieslak.
Karen L. has been working in different media this winter, painting mandala-style rocks and weaving a deliciously soft and happy blanket.
Karen M., a new guild member, joined us in-person for the first time. She is a new weaver already completing exquisite pieces like these mug rugs and placemats, her first and second projects ever! She also showed us an example of the Norwegian art of skinfeller.
Denise showed us the handtowels that she has woven with lovely variations in the pattern.
Melissa has been busy this winter! Here she is modeling the jacket she completed as part of Mary Sue Fenner's class last year. In addition to handwoven yardage, she made custom piping. She also competed a sweater, two vests (one of which was from a Mary Sue class ~29 years ago), more yardage, and a rug.
BUELLWOOD'S BEST 2021
Each spring for the last few years we have been holding the Buellwood's Best show at the May meeting. In the winter we agree on a theme and guild members create an object based on that theme. This year the theme was 12 x 12.
