Hello Everyone,
This is a reminder that we are a little under 3 weeks away from the deadline of May 1st for submission of Workshop and Seminar Proposals.
Many members have used this email to invite a treasured instructor so please take the time to do the same. We need to find those instructors that are available to share their knowledge and make this a great conference!
Thank you so much!

Great advice! It's good to know there are others who suffer from a "cutting-phobia" out there.
Weave Texas Commented on Eileen Hallman – Charkha Spinning, Nui Shibori, New Cotton Dyeing Dec 12, 2016
