Dianne Schullenberger, textile artist from Jericho VT was the guest speaker at the Guild's Spring Meeting.  In her talk, "The Personalities of Fiber"  she described the details of her work with textiles. Dianne began her career as a watercolor artist and has transitioned into textiles. She works out of her studio and gallery in Jericho.  For more information visit www.DianneShullenberger.com.


After the business meeting, there was a special wool sale.  Through a generous donation by Guild Member Diane Kelly, members were able to purchase wool from her collection.  Over $2,700 was raised to  benefit the fundraising campaign for the transition to the venue for the 2014 Rug Show.
