Guild Challenge 2023
Inspired by a song

The 2023 Guild Challenge reveal is almost here! You're ready, right?

This year, we're using songs as the inspiration for a fabulous fiber project. Any song, any style of music, any era, any type of fiber technique, all your choice.

Challenge projects will be revealed at the September guild meeting. Can't wait to see all these cool projects and hear their backstory. 
Guild Retreat 2023
Sound the alarms and hide the livestock! The retreat is coming! The retreat is coming! Okay, well, maybe just get your paperwork completed and sent in before it's too late....
​
There won’t be set classes this year.  Bring your project(s) to work on. There will be times when we can all work on some fun projects together that anyone can do. These will be voluntary, but we hope you will join in on all/most of these.

Dates: November 3-5, 2023
Location: Ozark Camp & Retreat Center, 10357 Eland Road, Neosho, MO 64850​
Fee*: Members or non-members, entire retreat = $140 per person

The guild will sponsor 3 non-guild members at 50% of the cost. To apply for a sponsorship, send an email to Colleen B saying why you want to come to the retreat. You don’t have to explain anything about your financial situation.
