I have posted this on my Facebook page. I am the director of the rainbow springs artist coop in Dunnellon. We are currently looking for a weaver to display and sell their work. If anyone is interested please let me know. Thanks
Would anyone be interested in several years of Spin Off magazines? Free!
We are downsizing and moving to High Springs.
Thank you,
Vanessa Grimmett
Thanks, but I’m in the same boat and trying to decrease such things. I appreciate the offer.
The Friends of the Library used to have a booksale 2-3 times a year. You might check to see if they would take such periodicals.

Hi there, do you know of anyone who can repair a crocheted, cotton sweater. It’s vintage and very beautiful. I purchased it at Lord & Taylor 40 years ago and the ends are frayed.
Hi, I am interested in weaving. I have never done it before. I just st purchased a simple loom and downloaded some patterns from Etsy. Will your group b meeting in person anytime soon?
Sincerely,
Mia C Day

How do I make a membership payment?
Hi Joann:
You can mail it to Gillian Hillis. If you need her address you can contact her at her personal email (in the guild’s directory) or email her at membership@gainesvillehandweavers.org.
Hello there! my name is Veronica and I will love to learn needle felting. Do any of the members do that? I’d like to visit the club.
Hi Veronica:
I will ask the members. We did a workshop in needle felting and Im sure there are members who enjoy that craft. If you want to come to one of our monthly meetings, we’re a welcoming group. We meet monthly, and our next meeting is on Jan 14 (an additional meeting from our regular program). If you want I can add your email to the mailing list so you get the info .
