For Programs: What are the possibilities for those of us that would like to go to the museum tour, but travelling down to Asnuntuck to go there doesn't make sense. I live more than an hour northwest of Asnuntuck, and it makes more sense for me to drive direct to Lowell, or to meet people at WEBS in Northampton, MA

Did anyone happen to pick up a pair of small Fiscars scissors (orange rips)? Mine seem to be missing since the silk reeling sunday workshop.

Just received this niote: Dear Friends of the Nutmeg Spinner's Guild, On behalf of St. Helena's Chapel, I would like to sincerely thank you for your very generous donation of @150. to the Cliffie Burnett Memorial fund! Cliffie was a very special friend who touched the lives of many by her gentle spirit. She is truly missed.
Your generosity will allow us to have a sign handcrafted that will welcome the community to the Meitation Meadow. This was a very special place for Cliffie. We hope that if you are in the area, you'll visit the Meadow as well as "Cliffies"s site" that is there.
Sincerely, Pastor Daina Salritis

We're getting to the end of October, which means it is time to start thinking about articles for the December newsletter!! If anyone has anything they'd like to contribute, I'd love to have it by the first week of November--anything later than that will probably have to go to the following newsletter. I'd especially like to have any reviews on recent events (such as SOAR or experiences at Rhinebeck--I know we had members there!), or any books that you may have recommendations for. Or against, frankly. We want to share the knowledge!! Feel free to contact me if you have any articles or suggestions or questions--my email is dragonmaille@gmail.com

Just a reminder, October is also the month of both the New Hampshire Wool Arts Tour (all three days Columbus Day weekend), and the Fiber Twist in the Greenfield, MA area the weekend of October 25th. The Fiber Twist does have a vendor venue availble on Saturday only usually.

Hey, all--I've posted info about the Hilltop Farm Fest in Suffield, CT. Look on the Calendar at September 1 for more info and the official website. We are invited to bring our wheels and whatever else we like to spin, knit, weave, crochet, or whatever. Please feel free to PM or email me with questions!! I just ask that you let me know if you're thinking of coming, so I can give the fair organizers a bit of an idea. Thanks!!

The following is a book that I have heard of but I have not yet had a chance to check it out.

The Rainbow Beneath My Feet: A Mushroom Dyer's Field Guide by Arleen Rainis Bessette and Alan E Bessette.
