Whatever Basket Reveal:

• Bring your basket in the bag you took home. Deposit the bag "unmarked" in the wagon outside the Tucson Room, before going into the room. After the business meeting we will bring in the bags and display the baskets. We will have a judging by all members present to determine the top 3 baskets.

We will begin working on the Salsa Basket. Materials needed are:

Spokes: #5 reed for base – 1 ½ yards, #4 reed for sides – 2 oz.

Weavers: #2 reed for base & sides – 7 oz., #3 reed for 4-rod coil – 2 yards

At the December meeting we will begin a “Whatever Basket” Challenge. Each person who wants to participate will be given a surprise bag to take home and make a "Whatever Basket”. This pattern is called the “Whatever Basket” because it must be made with “whatever” is available in your scrap box or received in your surprise bag. Bring it back to the January meeting for the big reveal and judging.
