[Kristin]

It's a shame that this conflicts with Royal Archery, else I'd definitely
want to attend.

Day last year, it was great!! Here is some information:

> This day is a day for members of the Barony (and beyond) to converge on
one central spot and work on sewing projects. Pennsic is coming up and this
is a perfect time to get ready. This day will allow for dedicated time for
you to work on things, as well as have a second pair of eyes, ears, and/or
HANDS to help you with your stuff. Motivation is also better in packs. I
will also have books and patterns to assist you.

kid friendly day, and I am planning on setting off a side of the room for
the children to have there own thing. Bring stuff for your kids to play
with.

you need to work on your projects. Lots of room to spread out. We will try
to have an ironing station, but please bring an extra iron if you like
yours. Also consider extension cords and/or power strips since outlets will
be at a premium.

Introduction to Tablet Weaving, using the double face technique.

> This technique, which produces lovely double sided bands, is not as
difficult as people think. In addition to a short history, this class will
show you how to quickly warp your inkle loom for use with tablets, how to
decide on a pattern, and how to begin weaving. 2 hours. 12pm to 2pm

> Students should bring:
> An inkle loom
> A shuttle
> A small to medium pair of scissors
> At least 20 tablets (cards)
> Two colors of yarn/string in 4 balls: 2 balls of each color. So, for
example, if you want to work in green and white, bring two balls of green &
two balls of white.

> Recommended string: #3 cotton crochet thread or #10 cotton crochet thread.

> If you are interested in taking this class please contact Mistress
JeanMaire at jeanmaire9 at yahoo.com as soon as possible.

> Please contact me if you have any questions at Jenybobeny(AT)yahoo.com. I
would like to bring snacks and drinks, and knowing how many people are going
to be there would help.

> Last year we have lots of individuals from neighboring Baronies come to
participate and said wonderful things about the day, so please feel free to
cross post to those in the local area that you think may want to join us.
Medb and Simone...I think you were helping me with this. Thanks!
