The Michigan Gourd Society patch of Jackson Michigan meet March 8th at the Canegie Branch Jackson District Library. The gourd technique was Leather Braided rim taught by Tammy Braunscheidel. Took a little time to get used to the pattern but looks really good on a gourd rim. The patch had 6 members in attendance. They were Tammy Braunsheidel of Ann Arbor, Carrie Cervantes of Dimondale, Jan Rogers of Williamston, Bobbie Lee Smith of Covert, Julie Glair of Munith and my self, LuAnn Alexander of Jerome.
Discussion on April project lead to two choices and the members can choose which technique they want to do. This will be any gourd project they wish to work on or, Tammy Braunscheidel is going to teach basket weaving for beginners. Also we talked about a project for May and that will be making a Kalimba, which will be taught by Bobbie Lee Smith. Again for the months of June-July-August the patch takes a break from the library to work out of members homes, so we can do outside preparations and such on gourds. Again anyone interested in the Jackson Library meetings or our meetings for the summer at members homes, is more that welcome. Contact myself, or Tammy Braunscheidel for info and email to [email protected].
