Subject: [AussieFeltmakers] Speaking of scarves

Hi guys

Wondered if any of you had thought of partaking in the scarf exchange this
year?

For those who don't know about the scarf exchange it is run annually by the
Spinners and weavers guild, this year Sunraysia spinners and weavers are
organising it.

What you do is send 150 gm of scoured fibre (whatever type you want!) and
send that and an entry form & fee of $11.00 to the guild. They then
distribute these packages out so that all who are taking part receive
someone else's  package. I might get one from someone in Tasmania and
someone in QLD might get mine. You then have to make a scarf using any
technique you like and yes feltmaking is acceptable. When completed the
scarf is returned to the guild who then after an exhibition of them all
posts it back to you to keep!

I have been doing this for quite a few years, sometimes I get beautiful
pieces other times they are not so crash hot but what I remember is that
someone else (who I don't know!) has taken the time to create something for
me and that is what is important.

Unfortunately I didn't think about anyone from this group doing it (our
fibre group does it every year.) so the closing date for the fibre to be
received is the 13 May. You then have a couple of months to complete the
item and this year the them is Scarves and Accessories "Lets be
fashionable!" in previous years it has been The great Australian Sky, Can
you see the colours in the water and I cant remember what else!

You have at least a couple of months to complete your item and then post it
back.

Its a lot of fun and if anyone is interested please let me know and I will
send you a form!

Regards

Sandie :-)
