SUMMARY:February Meeting - "Strictly Strickler"\, changed to ZOOM meeting
DESCRIPTION: NOTE: This has changed from an in-person to a Zoom meeting\, due to parking situation (ice) at Shawsville Community Center. \nProgram about Carol Strickler’s “A Weaver’s Book of 8 Shaft Patterns”\, facilitated by member Judy W.  She will explore some of the fine points of the book\, hopefully discussing topics that will make the book more “user-friendly” and perhaps one you’ll want to include on your library shelf (or reserve from our Guild library).
