The President’s Column

Greetings Guild Members,

Folks, it’s official – the holiday season is upon us. I know my calendar has just about every day filled
and my head is already spinning in regards to keeping everything nice and organized. I hope your days are filled with friends, family, and lots of love in between. Last Second Saturday was held by Kay and Diana as they showed us their own personal preferences on warping their looms. I want to thank both of them for their skills, time, and willingness to haul of their equipment in order to do that for our Guild and its members. Personally, I went home and decided that I was so good at warping that I was going to do a 30 DPI table runner on a 10 dent reed. And it worked out! So good on them for having skills that directly translated to real world applicable problems and for being able to communicate their strategies, effective thinking, and problems that they run into as they warp. I also want to give a shout out to Kathy for their wonderful ornament-making at our previous meeting. Those ornaments were so neat and it really helped to expand my brain into thinking of weaving in more than just the 2 dimensions. I plan on giving mine away, but that’s nothing new! Unfortunately, I will not be present for December’s potluck due to work, but I hope that everything goes well in that regards and that the beginning of Winter eases us in gently to the rest of the holidays.

Best Regards, Jarrett Eckhardt
WGMV, President 2024 – 2025
