This past Tuesday David and Eileen shared with us their experiences with dyeing with mushroom and showed many examples of their work.
This is your friendly reminder that the next Guild meeting is this Tuesday, March 20th, at 7:30pm.
The program will be on “Nature Dyeing with Mushrooms”, by members of the Fraser Valley Mushroom Society.
Don’t forget your coffee mugs; go right now and put them with your Show & Tell items!
Teresa Ruch, noted creator of hand-dyed, hand-painted and hand-woven garments, will be the guest speaker at the Whatcom Weavers Guild April 11 meeting.
Stuck on what to weave next? Ever wonder how textile industry designers get their ideas? Want inspiration on how to give zip to a stripe design or border design? Want ideas on how to develop great drape in your hand-woven fabric? Teresa’s PowerPoint presentation of commercial fabrics from fashion magazines and how they can be translated into hand-woven designs can answer some of those questions and more. Included is a discussion of color, drape and design as related to hand weaving. Fabric swatches and garments will be available to examine.
Teresa Ruch owns and runs a business of dyeing and selling yarns to weavers and knitters, and sells her garments of hand-woven, dyed fibers. She discovered the weaving loom in college and has been weaving ever since. She worked in the textile industry for 18 years as a sample weaver and a jacquard designer for interiors, menswear, womenswear and contract furniture. Now she is back to creating her own work and selling it. See more at www.teresaruchdesigns.com
The meeting will be on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at St. James Presbyterian Church’s lower level meeting room at 910 14th St. in Bellingham. Admission is free.

Crazy Batts a very interactive, fun and busy guild program. We started with colorful Merino fiber, added many different and unusual fibres to produce a unique batt that participants will spin into funky yarns. Our next show and tell will be pretty amazing.
