[Gatesedge] fibre arts

[Fluffy10 at aol.com]

Greetings,

I just wanted to send out a great big THANK YOU to everyone who showed up 
last night for Fibre Arts Guild and the Sewing Guild.  

I'm still drooling over all of the beautiful works that were to be seen! From 
the gorgeous hand pearled material, Fiametta's beautiful new gown the 
patience and talent is fantastic! The discussions of other outfits to be made for 
Gulf War, I can't wait to see them.  The tapestry weaving that Alia is 
working on.....all I can say is WOW!  And that doesn't' even begin to cover 
it!

Thank you Lady Natalia for teaching your three eager students how to make 
tassels.  I never thought it could be such a fun challenge. Between hand/eye 
coordination, a yard of thread, 1 tiny eyed beading needle, and a bunch of 
little sparkly seed beads!
I'm happy to say that the seed beads behaved very nicely while we tried to 
corral the rest of the stuff (I felt that 2 hands just wasn't enough!).  We 
only had one casualty get stuck with a needle, and the finger was very 
accommodating and didn't even bleed! A sign that we were doing something right!

Thank ya'll also for the wonderful conversation and stories told last night 
also. Mistress Shanahan, you still astound me with the articles, and pictures 
you have in your archives!  Keep 'em coming!!! 

 Until next time!

Yours in service,

Aylwin Holbrook
