Christmas Card Exchange
This year members were invited to participate in a Christmas card exchange. The Yarn Store has had a supply of window cards for years that nobody was buying so the committee agreed to seven of them being given to each member who joined the swap. Members then filled the window with some kind of fibre work, saved one card and delivered the rest to the Guild.
The cards were displayed at our Open Day in October and the best chosen by popular vote. Winners received a voucher from one of the traders present.
A few more members submitted cards after October to make up three groups of six.
One card of each set went into the Guild Collection.
The cards were stunning and showed a variety of techniques: weaving, felting, knitting, embroidery, silk painting, braiding. Cards were distributed to participants at the November general meeting or posted immediately after, in time for Christmas.
This was such a satisfying exchange that we hope to repeat it again next year.
