MICHIANA CALLIGRAPHY GUILD
August 24, 2025
Earlier this month we held our Annual Michiana Calligraphy Guild Picnic. Our President, Renee, once again hosted the lovely day at her home. It was a wonderful day full of friendship, creativity sharing, inspiration and lots of hugs. We had two members, Susan and Chris, traveled from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Traci came all the way from Bloomington, Illinois. We had a few other out-of-town members join us via Zoom. We were delighted to see them!
We like to invite all members to participate in a handmade
exchange at this annual event. Pat came
up with the wonderful idea of exchanging a mobile. Ginny collected the names of those who want
to participate. She did a drawing of names
and informed each of us secretly who our mobile would be gifted to. She also
lets us know if we needed to mail it or our person would be at the picnic. Ginny stayed on top of us with reminders, especially
for those that need to be mailed, so they arrived in time for the event. I think we were all blown away at the beautiful
mobiles that were received. This is
truly an inspirational group of ladies. Below
are the mobiles we were able to get pictures of. Although showing them to those that joined us
via Zoom was rather difficult, they were good sports and hopefully enjoyed the
exchange.
After the Zoom meeting and exchange, we enjoyed a delicious potluck
lunch and a couple of demonstrations. We
had supplies to make a folding ornament, which Angie showed, a tool Judy loves
and supplies to make a bookmark from Pat.
Anne generously brought in boxes of her treasured calligraphy supplies
that she offered to anyone interested in giving them a new home.
A big THANK YOU goes out to Renee for inviting us all to her
home to celebrate our guild!
