Lakeshore Fiber Arts Guild’s annual Holiday Potluck, Ornament Exchange, and Show ‘n Tell

Christmas ornaments made by former guild member
Carol McCloskey (basketry fish) and Jonetta Brown
(needle felted tree and Santa).
The Lakeshore Fiber Arts Guild’s annual Holiday Potluck, Ornament Exchange, and Show ‘n Tell will take place Wed., Dec. 4, at the Holland Area Arts Council, 150 East 8th St., Holland, MI 49423, starting at 6:00pm. 

We invite members of the community who are interested in the guild to attend.  You may bring a dish to pass with the appropriate serving utensil.  Plates, “silverware,” and beverages will be provided.  Wrap your ornament so no one will know who made it. Sign and date the ornament so the recipient will remember who made it in years to come.  Everyone who brings an ornament will take home an ornament.  For Show ‘n Tell bring what you’d like to show that you’ve been working on (from summer? for Christmas gifts?).


The Lakeshore Fiber Arts Guild invites anyone interested in the textile fiber arts to their monthly program meetings held the first Wednesday of each month at the Holland Area Arts Council.

Needle Tatting presented by Arlene Tiemeyer

Arlene Tiemeyer presents Needle-Tatting on Nov. 6, 2014
at our guild meeting at the Holland Area Arts Council.

Needle-tatted sample.

Thirty-five women attended, many visitors and guests from
the surrounding Holland area.

Arlene's examples of her needle-tatted edgings amazed everyone.  Even though it took a bit to get the hang of how to get the two loops on to the needle, most of us finally got it!
