Contact List
New names will be added to the contact list by Linda L, who is in Hawaii, so we can stay in touch during the summer. Linda suggested that we go to Cal Expo together in July to see the finger puppets on display, and Debi is looking into the dates for the SF weekend trip.
A sign up sheet was available to receive a monthly newsletter called "In the Loop" from Nola and Linda. It comes by email.
Summer Projects
Linda and Nola came up with the idea that we in CA trade ATCs (art trading cards) with Nola's group in Missouri. ATCs are like baseball trading cards; here is a really good website explaining ATCs with examples: http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html. Nola's group will probably hook rug their cards. We can knit, crochet, felt, or use any type of fiber to make the cards. The size is 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 with a cloth backing such as muslin. The back should have the following information on it: name, title of the piece, and date. Linda will get a stamp for us to use for the back information. Our deadline will be the end of October so Linda can ship them to Nola, and we will trade in December.
Don't forget about the comfort dolls, which will be collected in the Fall class.
Make sure to write down the date for the next class called "Hearth, Home, and Me." It starts Sep 15.

Hi Irene and California Knitters! Thank you so much for attending the Wagon Wheel Rug Class. I enjoyed meeting each and every one of you and hope to see you all again in the future. Stay in touch and remember if you come to St. Louis, I'd love to see you! Sincerely, Nola Heidbreder (aka Linda's sister).
Hi Nola,
It is nice to hear from you. We were so happy to meet you and learn about hooking rug and making a wagon wheel rug. Thank you for spending time with us. Hope to see you again.
