"Whatever Basket" Reveal and Salsa Basket Begins
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. It has a variety of different weaving techniques used and is really a beautiful basket.
