<DIV><SPAN class=113350919-26032004><FONT color=#008000>April's meeting will be
a sewing party. Hand-sewing. I have possession of the Steppes War Lord
tabard, and intend to set it on a worktable with hoops and fibers at the ready
for Guild members to work on it. It WILL be finished for War Lord! I
do need guidance on the finishing of the grices, device, and pediment. I've also
ordered flax seeds. If they arrive in time, we'll distribute them at this
meeting to those who would like to attempt to grow and process linen.<SPAN
class=076401921-26032004> In meetings following, we'll learn to make tools
for processing, in case any of the seeds actually yield mature plants (evil
grin).</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
