   "Weave Me in the Smokies"

January & February 2010
 
"Hannah's Basket"
 
>NEWS<
     Some of our 2010 projects are posted.  We are still accepting suggestions and will be looking for interesting projects
at NCBA Convention in March. 
    At the rainy January meeting, Barbara, Mary S.and Mary W. worked on the base and sides of "Hannah's Basket".  Bobbie worked on an "Olive" jar and Ginger had a waxed linen project. 
    We welcomed Richard as a guest and hopefully new member.  Richard came to Hickory from Houston, TX.

CVBA donated funds to fill five 2 gallon size survival kits to Haiti's Relief.  Northminster Presbyterian Church will include them in their shipment.  CVBA--what a sharing group!

>About Us<

The Catawba Valley Basketmakers meet on the 4th Sunday of the month at Allen Frye Clubhouse, (between Conover & Hickory). We welcome those who have an interest in the art of basket making and have knowledge of and experience with basic basket making skills. Our active, welcoming weavers make all who visit want to come again. We meet for fellowship, sharing and weaving. We have had more than a half dozen professional teachers in our guild and we take advantage of their knowledge and skills.  We also schedule projects with visiting teachers.
