SHETLAND LACE SAMPLER
I saw this information in a recent Lacis newsletter and thought it might be of interest to guild members. Contact Lacis for more information including exhibit dates, COVID-19 information, and hours. Even if the sampler is not exhibited, Lacis is always fun to visit and a good opportunity to support a local business.

Shetland Lace Sampler
This generous donation of decorative textile artworks from Cathy Clark is a tour de force of talent and devotion to the world of needlework, specifically her world of knitting and Shetland yarns. "I fell in love with Shetland sheep and their fleeces," she confesses, "and that has ruled my life since 2007." The magnificent sampler she constructed in 2012 is 8 feet by 6½ feet, comprising 67 different fleeces of yarn, all hand-spun by Cathy herself. We also have her personally compiled tome of sketches available for your perusal, with each motif and its pattern, along with sources and progress reports, all passionately and fastidiously documented.

ZOOM THURSDAYS
Wendy L. recently sent an email to guild members announcing a new Zoom spinning group happening on Thursday evenings. "We will be meeting on Thursday evenings to get together to spin, knit or craft from 6 – 8 pm via Zoom. The format is similar to Monday Spinners. There is no agenda or speakers...it is just a time to get together and work on individual project and enjoy the company of others."
If you didn't receive the email, please contact Wendy L. for more information.
