Hearty Congratulations to Marjo on becoming a Master Spinner.  Well done!  We are so very proud of your accomplishment.

Theo Moorman Exchange Reminder: At the spring conference in Fort St. John a group of us decided to have an exchange of small designs done in the technique which we had just learned.  The design area is to be no larger than 3" x 4" (the overall can be a bit larger) so that it will work as a card insert.  Please have them ready to exchange at the spring conference 2015.
