Old West Days - January 18-19, 2025
Inland Empire Handweavers Guild will be participating in Old West Days January 18 & 19 at the San Bernardino County Museum. Bring your portable loom or spinning wheel and join us for a day of fun. Children can try their hand at weaving on a guild table loom, and they can also make a Kumihimo friendship bracelet.
*** WE NEED YOU ***TO BE A DEMONSTRATOR***
Volunteers can work either the 9:30 a.m. -1:00 p.m. or 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. shift.
If you haven’t already signed up, please consider taking on a half day shift. Our greatest need is on Saturday. The Museum provides water and lunch (pizza is the usual fare). Other activities at the Museum include classic card games, live music, frontier arts & crafts and historical demonstrations!
At the January 13 meeting, I will bring foam boards for you to trace the kumihimo disk pattern. Please bring scissors so you can cut out the disks that you draw. If you took foam boards home to make disks at the September meeting, please bring those with you. They are needed for Old West Days.
Contact Suzanne Chappell, suz.chap@verizon.net, to help out.
