Reed & Weave September 2018 Edion President’s Letter . . . Hi There! Summer is winding down. Some schools are starting up in the next week or so. I hope you have had a productive summer and sur- vived the various heat waves. Thank you Janet for hosting the August meeting. On Saturday, September 29, we have an opportunity to demonstrate at the museum from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM. It is always fun to demonstrate at the museum and to share our work with the public. In addition, when we demonstrate at the museum, we are fulfilling our responsibility to the museum so we can continue to meet there. This year we have been asked to do a sheep to shawl. Since there is not enough time to actually do a com- plete sheep to shawl, the plan is to show the various steps involved. We need people to card, spin, weave, and knit. We also need people to help with the hands on projects for the public to try. There is something for eve- ryone to do. Please contact Suzanne Chappell and vol- unteer for something or let her know at the next meeting. I look forward to seeing you on September 29th and at our next guild meeting.

Janet Castro’s and Carol Bingaman’s Trip to Turkey & Uzbekistan, April 2018
Demonstration Day at the Museum Saturday, September 29
Noon – 4 p.m. Calling all volunteers! IEHG will be demonstrating at the San Bernardino County Museum on
September 29. A Saturday was requested because the attendance in higher than on Sunday.
The museum coordinators wanted us to do a modified sheep to shawl like we did in 2017, but 4 hours is not enough time to spin, ply and weave even a scarf. But we’ll try to have all the steps of the process demonstrated.
A sheep will not be shorn, but we’re hoping to have two sheep, one shorn and the other fully
dressed. We would like to have a full fleece on display. We will demonstrate cleaning and card-ing (by hand or using a carder), spinning, plying and many of the activities that can be done using the yarn. That would include knitting, crocheting, naalbinding, weaving on shaft, rigid
heddle or inkle looms, card weaving and felting.
We will also need volunteers to help with children’s activities using yarn or fiber. Kumihimo cords on a disk, weaving potholders and perhaps one other activity will be offered. Let me know of any ideas you have that are easily learned in a short time span.
The Inland Empire Chapter of the Embroiderers Guild of America may also be demonstrating.
If so, they could have a simple activity using wool yarns. So weavers and spinners, bring a project you are working on and be prepared to show visitors
the process and maybe let them try their hand at it. Sallie usually brings a 4-shaft loom for kids, and I bring a rigid heddle loom for them to try as well. This event will be advertised, so
we're hoping for a good turn out of children and adults. I will have a sign-up sheet at the IEHG meetings. Please contact me if you have ideas for ac-
tivities, and/or want to volunteer.
Please consider volunteering. It is always lots of fun!
