Great Guild Meeting Our first meeting of the Bead & Fiber Guild of South Jersey was a great success! Attended by gals of many talents, (beaders, seamstresses, a potter, traditional & crazy quilters, needleworkers), we all enjoyed the talk/demo on Beading in Needlepoint by Stacey Chakov, owner of The Needlepoint Boutique in Collingswood. After demonstrating the important stitches for using beads in needlepoint, everyone tried their hand at the technique! I added in a short talk on beading needles and beads to use with needlepoint. A great time was had by all! Join us for the next meeting, when we’ll welcome Gretchen Hulse, owner of Crescent Moon Clothing, in Moorestown. Gretchen will demo how she hand-carves tiles, which she then uses to hand-stamp some items in her clothing line. Meetings take place the third Wednesday of the month on our 2nd. floor, from 7-8:30 pm. Come with friends, and bring goodies to share! Judy’s Excellent PMC Adventure I am proud to tell you that I have finally gotten certified in PMC! (Precious Metal or “Silver” clay). It was a grueling but exciting 3 days of completing 7 projects... some of which had us muttering under our breath! But under the tutelage of master metal smith and PMC artist Chris Darway, a good time was had by all! The best part is that now I will be able to keep a supply of PMC packets on hand in the store! We will also be having monthly PMC classes, starting with May’s class, Intro to PMC-Making Charms, on Saturday, May 31st. This is an amazing medium! Come play with us and join the class! Great Partnerships Now Active In our last newsletter, I told you about the two wonderful organizations we’re welcoming to Jubili.

Engaging in creative endeavors has been shown over and over to help physical and emotional recovery from major illness and/or surgery. It can lift you out of depression. It is an opportunity to meet new friends, expand your own personal achievements, find and nurture a part of yourself that you might not have ever known. Whether you create to give as gifts, to sell, or simply to wear yourself, you gain tremendous pride, a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of stress relief, relaxation and pleasure when you create something yourself.

Come and join our great new club, The Bead & Fiber Guild of South Jersey! Sit with us and bead, knit, crochet. Take a class you’ve never taken before. And most of all... give your children the gift of creativity by having them join in our great variety of kids’ offerings! Better yet, take an “all ages class”, and have fun right along with them! What a great way to build happy memories while having fun with your kids! Your creative spirit is there with you through good times, bad times, easy times, and hard times. Share it with us, and we’ll nurture and exalt in it with you! Looking forward to crafting together! Warmest regards, and the Jubili Staff: Jes, Lorraine, Vince, Meredith, Brittany, Kathy and Asminder
