April Showers

When we left the meeting,  it was pouring rain, with thunder and lightning. Will we ever have spring? Good thing the swag was distributed – the vests were very nice, and kept us warm. Our annual (6th!) Sneaky Sheep Exchange was the focus of our April meeting. As usual, the creativity and variety of our members was phenomenal.  (this purse was from last year's sneaky sheep) As you can see, a variety of items were created under the "cozie" umbrella. A s urvey on the future of the guild was conducted . I f you didn't get a chance to fill out a surve y, not to worry, we will send out an e-mail with the particulars. We had many raffle prizes generously donated by Stacey T., Diane D., and Coralee. And the winners were:  Sue S. - Book 1: The Knit Stitch, Martha (lucky guest!) acquired the Little Box of Knits for Baby, Heather P. - a gorgeous skein of Mango Moon with a Scood pattern, Tanya received 8 skeins of Kathmando Aran by Queensland
