"Bold Is Beautiful" Juried Show 2000, in the Perry Gallery, has come and gone!

It is worth a look! 2000 Juried Show
Sept. 2009 Midwest Regional Seminar: (was Five Counties Seminar): The guild display at 5 Counties seminar, 2009, won a prize! Actually, what we did was really not the answer to the challenge that was issued. Ours was a loose collaboration between spinners and some guild and non guild members who knit up the mini sweaters, mitts, socks and hats. The certificate in the studio says "Original Idea". Pictures are here!
