KAWS 2010 – Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild

The Kansas Alliance of Weavers and Spinners’ (KAWS) annual conference was held in Emporia this weekend; unfortunately, many Wichita guild members were unable to attend. But we were well represented by those who did make the trip, and they also made sure our guild table looked its best!

The theme for this year’s guild table exhibit (and competition!) was “Yarn Cocktails”. Several members contributed fiber interpretations of specific cocktails. This is a view of the entire table:

Here’s a non-alcoholic “Tequila Sunrise”…

… and one more citrus-y closeup:

We don’t yet know how our table fared in the competition, but had fun seeing everyone’s ideas!

Items on the agenda for the February 2010 meeting include a review of the bylaws and information on the 100 Colors Dye Workshop. Also on the slate will be a decision on the March program. Current suggestions are:

basket weaving
double weave
triangle loom weaving

Members with anything to add to the agenda should contact Margaret Raymond.

The program for this meeting will be work time on the guild exhibit for KAWS, with the theme “Yarn Cocktails”. Members should bring yarn, ideas, and anything else that would fit the theme. And those who selected a cocktail at the January meeting should watch their email inboxes for the image of their drink!
