Next Meeting: Sept. 26, 2013 7pm
REMEMBER : Sept. 26 is a Thursday, not our usual Wednesday meeting day. PROGRAM Stephanie Gausted will demonstrate and teach us how to spin cotton on your wheels. Actual foot powered wheels, not Charkhas, so be sure to bring your wheel. Note: she says "large bobbin lead, single drive wheels are very difficult to spin cotton, as are jumbo flyers".

At the August meeting, Mindy handed out many various samples of cotton fiber that Will & Kate donated for our year of Cotton & Linen emphasis. She will bring what is left over for those who were not there. It was a great collection and will be a great start to experiment with this wonderful fiber.
