Minutes—September 5,
Guild Meeting Meeting called to order at 7:00 pm by
Megan Roach who welcomed everyone to our
new meeting space, The Grand Rapids Police
Department Metro Lodge 97. Julie Daniels
found the space and Paula DeYoung is our
liaison with the Lodge.
Meeting opened with an introduction of
new members (Rachael Hoekstra, Michelle
Hudson, Kate O’Hare, Darlene Rabe, Shelley

Treasurer's Report As this is the time of year that many of our
members pay their dues, I'd like to remind you
what those pay for. Those dues pay for our
meeting hall, speakers & programs, hospitality
at the meetings (all that coffee), and scholar-
ships. And while we hope that revenue from
retreats and workshops will make them self-
sustaining, your dues also allow us to reserve
space in advance. Your dues also allow us to
secure the space for Textile Arts Market in
advance.
The great majority of dues income -- over
90 per cent in the form of the meeting space
rental, speakers' fees, and hospitality -- goes to
support the programs at guild meetings. We
create a budget each year based on expected
income. This year we budgeted on an expected
106 members and currently have 105 mem-
bers, so we are right on track.
Our meeting space has been paid for, de-
posits have been paid on retreat rental, the
deposit has been paid for the Prince Center,
our scholarships have been fully funded, and
Megan has arranged for a full schedule of very
interesting programs. he guild account now
stands at $16,384 Respectfully submitted,
Jane Yelvington
TAM Committee
Meeting October 5, 6:30 p.m.
Biggby Coffee
4035 Plainfield NE Our annual Textile Arts Market is still sev-
eral months away, but it is time to start think-
ing about the details. The members of the
TAM steering committee will meet Thursday,
Oct 5 at 6:30 PM at the Biggby Coffee Shop at
4035 Plainfield to put the finishing touches on
this sale. This is not a glamorous committee
activity, but a necessary one, and if you enjoy
organization or have other similar skills,
please consider joining this group. Many
hands make lighter work, and many heads
make for better ideas! Our good organization
before the sale makes it run more smoothly,
and makes it easier for everyone to work with-
out frustration.

PAULA’S POINT OF VIEW
This is Not Your
Grandmother’s Guild
I have written before on the meaning and
purposes of a guild. However, with so many
new members in the last two years, I would
like to put an updated twist on this issue.
Guilds did start during the medieval days as
the power of the kings dwindled and a middle
class was beginning to be formed by skilled
craftsman. The feudal system was disintegrat-
ing and little towns were being established
with shops and commerce. Guilds were
formed by the various artisans to set standards
and protect the quality of the goods they pro-
duced. These guilds were highly regulated and
open only to those who met the standards.
Your great-grandmother might have be-
longed to a weavers’ guild in the early 1900’s.
These guilds were women of like mind and
interests that wanted to share knowledge of
their craft and learn from others. Many of the
patterns for weaving, as an example, were not
written down and certainly not published.
Perhaps the creator of the pattern had made
notes on a sheet of paper with pencil as a per-
sonal reminder. Guilds began to grow during
the century as population centers became
denser and communications improved. Many
women also learned weaving in public schools
as a domestic science and continued their in-
terest as adults in local guilds.
Your grandmother might have joined a
guild in the 1970’s when there was a resur-
gence of interest in spinning, weaving and
other fiber arts. Guilds began to flourish again
as a way of learning and passing on traditions.
Schools had been eliminating their weaving
programs but many books were now available
for instruction. Over time there were also
VCRs for instruction. Many guilds offered
invaluable workshops or study groups.
The guilds during this time period tended to
focus on only one craft like weaving, spinning,
basket-making or the like. The focus was nar-
rower and it was strongly centered on increas-
ing skills and knowledge.
These guilds also began to have annual
sales to share their work with the community
and sell their very fine goods. This brought the
guilds into the community awareness and
become visible to others
Your mother’s guild at the turn of the cen-
tury started to expand its interest to be more
inclusive and broadened to include several
related crafts like weaving, spinning and felt-
ing. While guild’s still brought in expert
teachers for workshops, now there was also
DVDs and then YouTube which made learn-
ing “how to” more available and easier. Guilds
started to see themselves as the gathering for
anyone who was interested in the fiber arts.
Learning became not just from expert instruc-
tors but also from fellow artisans.
Today this is your guild. You have joined
because of some interest or curiosity. You will
have the opportunity to learn, sell products,
Julia Voake to Offer
Dyeing Workshop Guild member Julia Voake will be teaching
a class with Susan Clarke at Lowell Arts on
Saturday Nov. 11. The class is Eco-Dyeing on
paper and fabric. The hours are 10:30-12:30.
The fee is $30 plus a materials fee of $7. The
students need bring nothing.
Students will make three eco-dyed cards.
There will also be a demonstration of eco-
dyeing on fabric. Information on the processes
will be handed out.
To get more information or to sign up for
the class go to [email protected].
Fiber Dyeing Sampler
with Rita Petteys The next guild sponsored workshop will be
offered Nov. 18 at Yarn Hollow Studio in
Grandville. The workshop will be taught by
Rita Petteys. A registration form is attached to
this newsletter.
show your created items and develop new
interests. Much about guilds has remained the
same over the last century. But something has
changed.
Your guild is more and more about not just
fiber but the relationships that form around
fiber. We are a diverse group of ages, inter-
ests, backgrounds and styles. The diversity
makes us vibrant. It allows us to have new
insights and information from just our casual
conversations at meetings, retreats, workshops
or study groups. Our diversity means we
rarely get bored and there is always some
other way to work with fiber on the horizon.
Your guild is about people and fiber. Find
some fiber friends there and it will expand
your experience many-fold. We weave rela-
tionships as well as fiber. We spin wonderful
tales as well as yarn. We not only felt by
meshing fibers together but we form a com-
munity by meshing our lives together.
I hope you enjoy being part of the Wood-
land Weavers and Spinners Guild. I hope you
find a niche where you feel comfortable to
participate in one of out many activities. I
hope you reach out to become an active part of
this dynamic network of fiber friends.

MLH Updates For those of you new to Woodland Weavers
and Spinners Guild, you will often hear the
term MLH. It stands for the Michigan League
of Handweavers. I quote from the MLH web-
site:
The Michigan League of Handweavers
(MLH) was founded in 1959 to promote hand-
weaving. The League welcomes anyone inter-
ested in handweaving or the many related
aspects of fiber art and craft. The League pro-
vides opportunities for members to come to-
gether to learn and to exchange ideas by spon-
soring lectures, workshops, conferences and
exhibits. As a non-profit, educational organi-
zation, we also provide seed money for events
around the state.
We offer 8 workshops on even numbered
years and on odd years we host a full confer-
ence with seminars, exhibits, fashion show,
vendors and workshops.
Our guild has always been very active in
supporting MLH with officers, committee
chairs and especially volunteers during the
seminar and conference years. Our guild also
usually has the largest number of members
from a guild participating in the seminar and
conference events.
I will keep you updated on the latest MLH
news. From the September board meetings the
highlights are:
The Biennial Fiber Exhibit will be held at
the Shiawasee Art Center in Owosso
February 6th to March 11th. This is a
juried exhibit which has two categories--
Fiber Arts & Functional Fiber. It is a
great opportunity to have your fiber work
shared with a state wide audience. JoAnn
Bachelor will be the judge this year. The
receptions and awards will be on Sunday,
February 11th. You can look on the MLH
website for details of entering the Fiber
Exhibit. I will bring hard copies to the
November guild meeting.
MLH provides learning grants each year
of up to $200 to attend a fiber learning
experience. This may include MLH semi-
nar or conference workshops, Fiber Festi-
val, local guild workshops, Handweavers
Guild Association conference or any fiber
related learning opportunity. Check for
details on the MLH website.
Reminder if you are an individual mem-
ber of MLH the membership year is from
September to August. Even if you joined
while registering for the conference in
June your membership expired at the end
of August. You may renew any time dur-
ing the year.
The MLH website now lists the 3 days
seminars for next June. Registration will
be in early January. The specific date is
not yet set. You can start planning on
what seminar you might want to attend.
You can also start saving or think about
applying for a learning grant to defray
costs.
The MLH trading post is filled with list-
ings for used equipment. Many items
have been added over the summer. This is
a good place to find fair priced used
equipment.
Our Guild participated in the Swatch
exchange this year. The MLH board was
very pleased at the swatches from the
four guilds that made them this year. We
did well. I will have a notebook with the
swatch samples in them for you at the
Stitches in Time—Seven Years This August I attended my 7th Stitches Midwest in Schaumburg IL. Stitches is sponsored by
XRX, former publisher of Knitters Magazine. It is 4 days of classes, making new friends, meet-
ing new teachers, and shopping. The first year I attended I went to register at the hotel and no-
ticed people knitting everywhere, and thought "I've found my tribe." I haven't missed one since.
This year I took two knitting classes, both on design. The first,
taught by J. C. Briar, was on designing socks and went into the
technical framework of sock design, such as scale and pattern
stretchiness. The second class was on
designing tessellations for knitware.
This class was led by Franklin Habit,
and if you ever have a chance to take a
class with him take it. He is an excel-
lent teacher and extremely funny.
I also took two weaving classes. The
first was with Deborah Jarchow on the
rigid heddle. The class was on color
blending. We all had brought yarn in a spectrum of colors and the
whole class helped each student decide which colors were best. We
warped the looms before lunch and had the afternoon to finish the
scarf. It was in a plain weave but had color changes in both the warp
and weft. All the scarves were beautiful. Even though I've been
weaving on a rigid heddle for a number of years, I still learn some-
thing in her classes.
The second class was on card weaving with John Mullarkey. Us-
ing his custom designed tablet looms, we learned to warp the tablets
and weave. We were able to weave two shoelaces with 10/2 perle
cotton. It was a lot of fun. I had done a bit of tablet weaving on my
own, but John pointed out what I could be doing better. I bought
more 10/2 when I got home so I could make more shoelaces!
I can hardly wait for 2018!

November meeting. You may want to
review them. Each guild gets a package
of swatch samples as does any member of
MLH that is paid by the first of the year.
If you have any questions about MLH
please feel free to ask me, Margaret Jaegar,
Sue Vegter, Marta Williams, Cathy Barnett or
Cathy McCarthy who have all been officers or
committee chairs.

Marta G. Williams
Spinning Questions;
Weaving Answers I have an 86 year old friend who is moving
into a smaller space – she continues to weave.
She wonders about whether a warping mill or
warping board would be more suitable given
the space issue.
Both Jochen Dietrich and Julie Daniels
agreed that a warping mill is the best choice.
Here are several reasons:
greater flexibility to measure a short warp
or a very long warp
it spins, thus saving your arm and/or
shoulder from getting sore or fatigued
it can be positioned to be used while sit-
ting down
it can be broken down for storage
On the other hand, warping boards can be
broken down for storage also. Depending on
the length of warp your friend usually chooses
to weave and the space, warping pegs can be
considered.
Mary Ippel writes: I used a warping board
for many years, then purchased a warping
mill. I only used the mill a few times, then
went back to the warping board because that is
what I used and enjoyed. I do a lot of color
designs and when I wind my warp on the
board, I can make decisions about color as I
go.
If you have thoughts on this question,
please feel free to send your suggestions or
experiences with warping boards vs. mills. We
thank mentors for their time, thoughts, and for
sharing their skills on this question. We look
forward to many more questions and many
more mentor answers!
If you have other questions, please send an
email to Bob Meyering (meyeringbob@
gmail.com) or Pat Pope (patpope2668@
gmail.com).
Editor’s note: We do have a question about
the meaning of those numbers when it comes
to thread. For example, what does the 8/2
mean in 8/2 cotton? If you have a clear expla-
nation, please share it.
Thanks to our
Fallasburg Fall Festival
Volunteers Many visitors to the Fallasburg Fall Festi-
val stop to chat with the volunteers from our
guild who spend their days plying their crafts
and answering questions. Every year we meet
new fiber friends who come to share stories,
ask about our guild, or watch the activity
which supports our fiber explorations.
This year Arlene Tiemeyer brought her
floor loom and Jocelyn Shaw brought her rigid
heddle loom. Paula De Young prepared a warp
on her warping mill. Margaret Jager used a
drum carder to card an indigo-dyed fleece into
submission, while Gabriela Minnhaar-Tomatis
and Paula Stark spun fleece into gold, i.e.,
silk/wool yarn! Visitors often express surprise
that it takes so make steps and so much time to
create our masterpieces.
This year guild members Heidi Bukoski
and Kelly Brandt manned a booth at the FF
Festival, and Cindy Allen volunteered in the
lodge and served the Lowell Arts Council as
the volunteer coordinator

FROM OUR PRESIDENT
The Guild and ArtPrize This time of the year is so busy for me with
ArtPrize. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with
the never-ending ArtPrize to-do list and I for-
get how much fun ArtPrize can be. What a
wonderful time of year! I love that Grand
Rapids and its inhabitants put so much time
and effort to highlight the wonderful world of
art every year. I also truly enjoy talking to
people about weaving on a regular basis at my
shop during this time. ArtPrize can be so re-
warding even if it is a lot of work.
I would love for the Woodland Weavers
and Spinners to get involved with ArtPrize
next year. I was talking to a member who
mentioned that we did participate several years
ago, but I think it might be time to be a part of
this great event again. I imagine a group of
weavers and spinners demonstrating in front
of some sort of fiber installation, hopefully in
a well trafficked area. It would be a great ex-
perience for our members that would partici-
pate as well as for the ArtPrize goers that pass
our piece and learn about our craft. I also can
see a collaborative piece promoting our guild
and hopefully encouraging several people to
join our guild. The more the merrier right?
We’ll discuss this idea a bit more at our
upcoming October meeting. Please reach out
to me at [email protected] if you
are interested in this!

Our New Location
1753 Alpine Ave NW While I suggested in previous emails a couple of different ways of getting to this location, I think the
simplest suggestion is to take the Ann Street exit from either North or South. Follow Ann Street west
where it curves to the right and intersects with Alpine. Turn left onto Alpine and drive south. We are on
the right side of the street at the corner of Alpine and Sylvia. The sandwich boards we use for the Tex-
tile Arts Market will be out in front of the building to help you find it.
