YAWG Meeting Reminder

The Youngstown Area Weavers will be meeting Wednesday June 9 at 10 am at the Colonial Inn on the Canfield Fairgrounds.

The program for this month is leaf and flower pounding – an exuberant and stress-relieving method to imprint natural designs onto fabric. It will be taught by Julie Kerner of With Needle in Hand. She will be providing prepared fabric and there will be a kit fee of $9.

leaf pound

Bring fresh leaves an flowers from your garden – with everything blooming now we should have a lot of color – a hammer with a metal head and a wooden board or cutting board. Wear old clothes…this is a messy one!
