  3. Festival 06

    as Guildmaster, Morag is sending out a Challenge to all fibreworkers, not just Guild members. The Fleece to Finished Challenge will be an on-site activity, with participants collecting some older carded fleece on the Friday and meeting on the Monday or Tuesday to show what they had done with it.

  4. Discussion on what you could do on-site at Festival lead to an idea for a Guild group project - make the banner in felt. Lady Contarina volunteered to be the Project Organiser and Eyrika noted she has lots of fleece. Watch out for more details.

  5. Device

    the device to be registered as the Guild Badge is - Or, a chevron gules, three catherine wheels azure. (Gold/yellow with two blue catherine wheels above and one under a red chevron (an upside down v)). Morag to arrange thet submission with the College of Heralds. The ornament/badge can be the catherine wheel or little skeins. Contarina noted she had little pweterbadges available of catherine wheels and Eyrika showed a machine embroidered cloth badge that could be done for cost ($10).

  6. Contraversy Corner - Royalty Gifts

    Little discussion happened on the list or from the previous newsletter. The small but active meeting noted that the Guild is already supporting the Kingdom by supplying Award Cords. We also didn't want to be seen supporting some reigns but not others, because that's when we happened to get organised, or someone felt 'good enough' at a skill to make it for Royalty. All agreed it is a good thing, and we shouldn't be intimidated by the standards the WCOB are setting - with the acknowledgement that even members of WCOB are being surprised at what they can produce when it comes down to it. More thought and discussion needed.

    Lady Teffania Tuckerton supplied 9 award cords. She was recognised as a Journeyman Cordmaker at the GuildDay Feast.
