Not many of you have been sending messages for Weaver's Words. We've had a steady growth in the number of subscribers. So let's show the "newbies" what Weaver's Words is all about. I know the web page has been down occasionally. That's one of the downfalls of a free web page. I contacted www.xoom.com to see if there was a specific problem that I could rectify. They responded with a generic response that their server gets overwhelmed at times. My only advice is to be persistent. The web page is still there unless www.xoom.com is down. Take Care, David %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Subject: Re: "Weavers Words" V. 4 I. 06 Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 13:12:06 -0400 From: Martha.Evans@sealedair.com To: David Collins Hello, Does anyone have any information about an annual Gourd & Basket Weekend in October in Encinitas, CA? It is sponsored by the Misti Washington Gourd & Basket Guild. It was mentioned in an article in Black Creek Country News. We are planning a trip to San Diego in October and I would love to be able to attend the event! Thanks for any information!

They are for a skuttle, but I have noticed that some basket makers use them on their baskets. The Country Seat has sold such an item but it has been discontinued. The need to be 4" long w/a 1/4" or 3/8" opening for the shaft. If you could be of any help, I would appreciate it immensely. Thank you Catherine Talotta %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Subject: Ammunition Basket Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 22:59:29 -0400 From: "Ruthanne M.S. Morningstar" To: davidc@iei.net Hi WW's, I've sent the pictures of the Ammunition Basket for all to see what this basket looks like. There's three, side, bottom and base. I'm surprised at how much interest this basket has generated. I'm off to the UP in Michigan for a two-day workshop with Jill Choate and then a few days of traveling and seeing the sights. Talk to you all next week! Take care! Ruthanne from Dryden, Michigan, weather mid 60's and sunny. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Subject: Fishing creel Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 12:24:53 -0400 From: Nancy Brandt To: Weavers words Hello everyone! To Jenn about the fishing creel: Yvonne Gunther and Arline Moltrup did the Deer Creek Fishing Creel pattern. You can contact Yvonne at basketshoppe@aol.com. She probably has the parts you need. Her shop, which is the address on the pattern, has closed. Deer Creek is the name of our basketry guild in Maryland.
