Welcome to the
Duneland Weavers' Guild home page!
Our guild was established in 1948 as an
Indiana not-for-profit
organization. It has been the starting point and gathering point for
many whose interest is in traditional or contemporary weaving and other
fiber arts, whether they are beginners or experienced.
Come join us:
Our meetings are open to the public. We encourage not-yet weavers and
non-weavers as well as weavers to come participate in our programs.
March is going to be a
fabulous month at the Duneland Weavers' Guild! We will have a
guest speaker -- Ellen Grenier! She will give us a presentation
on tri-axial weaving, followed by a workshop from 1-4pm. In case
you haven't signed up for the workshop yet, there are a few spots still
available. If you are interested, the cost is $10 and you are
welcome to contact Chris Acton to sign up.

Here
are the weavers, their "poker hands" and their projects. Each
weaver was given 5 cards. One could be discarded.
Have a look at the creative and attractive
ways these weavers played their hands!
Sue's "hand" was [to be added shortly].
Here she is with her summer and winter afghan.
Tina's "hand" was rep weave, textured, green color, cotton yarn (she
discarded a clothing card). A sample area of her rep weave
yardage is shown below.
Manda's "hand" was plain weave, smooth texture, red (which she modified
to burgundy), tencel and table linen. Below is
a photo of Manda with her tencel table runner.
Lisa's "hand" was lace (which she discarded),
smooth texture, yellow, silk/rayon and outerwear. Below, Lisa
models her chenille scarf with hood.
Virginia's "hand" was twill, textured, blue,
wool and wall hanging. Here is Virginia with her wall hanging
that was
inspired by
blue spring flowers.
