For several years I've been talking about forming a feltmakers group, FELT CLUB, that would meet periodically throughout the year to share, encourage, teach, and help each one become better skilled at the art/skill of feltmaking. At the class that I taught in Otsego a few weeks ago, it was brought up again and this time, Dear Karin was there to really push me and help me in the process. Since I am not by nature a terribly organized person, I need help in that area. Karin is innately organized and well connected in the community, while I tend to stay mostly to myself. It looks like FELT CLUB will start in January 2012 on a Saturday. Further details will follow as Karin and I get them worked out, but for now, we need to know if you are interested in becoming a part of FELT CLUB. This is not a commitment, just need to know if you are interested. Karin and I are also looking to keep the cost very reasonable so that many can join. I'm asking that you respond to this blog post or contact me through my email: info@hookedonfelt.com
When we meet it will be from 9AM-5PM with a pot luck lunch. We will be able to work on felt projects, build community, enjoy each other. We are looking for ideas and hope that you will freely share ideas for FELT CLUB. For example, a study of differing types of wool/fibers, so that we could each make a book of felted fiber samples. What would you like to do at FELT CLUB? Don't be shy, we need all the ideas you very talented, creative women have to make this a great experience for all of us.
I hope to get the skirt done this week. I cannot stop dreaming about it. At least in my dreams, it looks wonderful. Now to bring it to fruition.
Shalom and Happy Felting!

Sharon,
I just added "Saturday" to the posting. There are many gals who want to come who are out of town, and we are looking to accommodate them. We may even need to find housing for them. Anyone have an extra bed?
so sorry I don't live closer
Oh Elynn, I am so sorry you don't live closer too, but not just for felt club.
Kisses my friend.

Would definitely love some more info on this...I live a good 3 hours away but I would be interested!
I am so in!
I would be happy to contribute Icelandic wool - raw and rovings - for a breed study or what-have-you.
I'll be watching with interest as I have a small beginners group starting up this month. Wish I was closer. I would love to join you all.
Cheers Joan
