May Meeting

      Our May meeting went real well!  We had a wonderful show and tell!  Dorothy brought a box full of Lap- Ghans that she has made in the last month to donate to the Nursing Home here in Linden.  They were all different but all beautiful!   Mary was working on the Cro-Knitting (Tunisian Stitch) that Dorothy taught last month.  She also had a beautifull red -and I do mean red- scarf for her daughter and a shawl too.  Margurite was working on the Cro- Knitting too, as was I.  We all welcomed Kathy back and she brought some fantastic wash clothes that she had crocheted around and embroidered too.  What a wonderful gift that will make!  She also had a great baby afghan she made with size 15 needles.  It was not done yet.  She was going to cross stitch a John Deere tractor in the middle.  Hope we see some pictures of that one!  Wanda had a novelty yarn that she was knitting into a great textured scarf .  What a great bunch of projects!  And a great bunch of Fiber Artists!

     Memorial Day Weekend is just around the corner and the annual Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival!  Come to the Dickson Fairgrounds and see the animals that bring us great fiber, talk to vendors who can get you rigged up for your next project or take a class and learn something new that YOU can do with fiber! 

     There's a new yarn shop in Hohenwald!  We may have to have a road trip for one of our meetings!  Just think- we will be able to get great yarn closer than 1 and 1/2 hours away!  Oh hang on to my pocket book! 

     If you are interested in coming to a guild meeting we meet the second thursday of every month exccept December at the Commodore Hotel.   We welcome new comers.

Hello Again!

Welcome back to the Buffalo River Fiber Arts Guild! I have high speed internet so this blog should be kept up a little better! Thanks to all the gals that keep coming to our meetings..... You all are the life blood of our organization.
Our little group is really looking forward to our April meeting! We will be celebrating our 4th anniversary! We can hardly believe that! We will have refreshments and a class on Cro-Knitting. This is using a double ended clochet hook and two colors of yarn you can create a two color piece -color A on front and color B on the back! Come join us as we experiment and enjoy the commaraderie of our fiber friends!

Boy Have I dropped a stitch!

Yes! Our sock workshop was SOOOO much fun. The rest of the year was great fun at the guild meetings. June 2010 was a great Cardweaving workshop as well!

Well 2011 is in full swing! We played with knitting cables in February, and have been knitting and sharing since!

The May 12, 2011, meeting was fun. We had a visitor -Wanda's daughter and granddaughter. Mercy helped me with some card weaving. I hope everyone keeps at their fiber crafts while summer is in full swing.

May 27 and 28 is the 4th annual Mid TN Fiberfestival at the Dickson, TN fairgrounds. I hope everyone can come and enjoy all the fiber related vendors and the workshops too! It's great fun!

June 9 is our next Buffalo River Fiber Arts Guild meeting. 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Commadore Hotel in Linden, TN.

Happy Birthday and a Sock Workshop

We are ONE year old! We celebrated with a learning to knit socks from the toe-up workshop taught by Jennifer Adair on April 8, 2010. 9 people attended and we all had fun! Several finished their baby socks by the end of the day. We used Jennifers pattern that uses worsted weight yarn and a #6 circular needle to knit both socks at the same time. We all had a really great time!

The next meeting of the Buffalo River Fiber Arts Guild will be on May 13, 2010 at 1:00pm until 4:00pm at the historic Commodore Hotel in Linden, TN.

Next Meeting

Our February meeting was good!

Our next meeting will be Thursday, March 11, 1-4pm in the conference room at the Commodore Hotel. Bring a project and join us.

January Meeting Notes

Our January 14 2010 Meeting was a great meeting! Our December dishcloth exchange- which got put off until this month- was a great time. Everyone that came went home with a new dishcloth to decorate their kitchens. I dare say the exchange of ideas was as big a gift as the clothes themselves. There were crocheted ones, knitted ones and handwoven ones. There was smooth ones and shaggy ones, plain ones and patterned ones. Thanks to everyone that came and made the afternooon such fun!

The next meeting will be February 11, 2010. We hope everyone is well and can bring their project and join us to exchange ideas, share inspiration and enjoy the Fiber Fellowship!

November 12th Meeting

The November Meeting will be Thursday the 12th from 1-4pm., at the Commodore Hotel on mainstreet in Linden Tn. Bring a project and join us.
