In the first issue of the year, there is a report on Tucson (including
a few pictures!) written by Helen Dahms, information and pictures about
the Kumihimo program, the Dairyland Seed Company event, and the
Bead-In. There's also a letter from our President about what
she's been working on since the beginning of the year, and she'd like
to know what you are working on as well! Post a picture or comment on our Facebook page to get in on the fun!
