Many thanks to all who made the event possible! Thank you, in particular, to Layl McDill, Ella Ramsey, Sandra Brick, Jenny and the entire Textile Center staff, and the Development Committee of the Textile Center Board." -Tina Hughes, Textile Center Board Member and Chair, Development Committee.
Thanks also to Allegra Printing, Bubble Gum Photobooths, Danae Rem design services, and to all the businesses, guilds, organizations, and artists who made the event happen. We raised over $9,000 for Textile Center!

Member Pamela J Davis has been awarded the Donald C. Gardner Humanities Trust Individual Artist Grant for 2014
The goal of the Trust's Individual Artists Grant Program is to recognize and encourage developing and established artists in Ely MN, USA, to take advantage of an activity or opportunity that will have significant impact on the artists' career. Pam is using the grant money to travel to Mountain View Arkansas in January to train with her mentors Skip and Rachael Mathews on her fiber - copper sculptures that combine threading and beading with fiber and torch coloring copper. www.pamelajdavis.com / www.gardnertrust.org
Two of Member Wynne Mattila's wool rugs are included in the recent eBook Best of Handwoven: Top Ten Rugs on Four Shafts.
The rugs were originally published in the Jan/Feb 1997 Handwoven Magazine. Her Krokbragd rug is pictured in the upper right corner of the link. Wynne will be teaching a wool rug class at Weavers Guild in January.

 Are you or your guild knitting booties for single mothers? Sewing blankets for the homeless? Creating a quilt for a person living with AIDS? Knitting hats for chemotherapy patients? Let Textile Center know and we will post your project and contact info to help get others involved!
Project Examples
Bundles of Love
Every 3 hours, a baby in Minnesota goes home with a free bundle of 25 items produced by Bundles Of Love. Without this bundle, these babies would have nothing - no clothing, no bedding, no diaper bag because their parents are unable to provide these basic needs. Volunteers provide clothing, bedding and other necessities for infants, clothing for premature infants of all sizes, and burial garments and keepsakes for families who have suffered the loss of an infant.
This organization is in need of the following knit or crocheted items: socks, booties, hats, sweaters, baby afghans, jackets and pants. www.bundlesoflove.org
The Mother Bear Project is dedicated to providing comfort and hope to children affected by HIV/AIDS in emerging nations, by giving them a gift of love in the form of a hand-knit or crocheted bear. www.motherbearproject.org
The National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome
A North America initiative to help educate caregivers about normal infant crying, how to cope with crying and the dangers of reacting to crying in frustration by shaking or harming an infant. The organization is collecting hand knit or crocheted purple hats which will be given to new parents in hospitals and doctors' offices. www.clickforbabies.org
