The Board
In a volunteer organization, the term “board” or “Board of Directors” means the group of people that
run the organization and is a convenient way of identifying the leadership group. Board members are
the grassroots leaders. The board is an intrinsic part of the organization’s mission, cohesiveness, and
heart, the "keepers of the spirit". The board demonstrates a commitment to doing things right by paying
attention to financial matters, and ensuring that government and other paperwork are filed properly.
A crucial job for the board is the role the board plays in establishing a tone for the organization.
Through example, leaders foster a spirit where others contribute gladly, not reluctantly or guiltily. The
character of the organization is what makes participation satisfying and rewarding to many.
Two responsibilities important to the board are recruiting new leaders and turning over responsibilities
to them. Board members who truly believe in the organization's work want to ensure that they encourage
new leaders and let the organization grow into its own future. Board members seek out valued
volunteers and encourage them to stretch their skills by joining the board, and support them once they
get there. Some people with wonderful skills are reluctant to envision themselves in a board role. They
may see board members as experts with special training. In fact, the board is among the best places
in the world to find training and become an expert in managing people and organizations.
Next year in 2009, the service terms of five board members end. Several members are re-running for
a second term and several members are leaving the board. The Northwest Basket Weavers By-Laws
require having a minimum of nine persons on the board. If the guild does not maintain a minimum of
nine board members, the guild will have to cease operations according to the Washington State Law
for non-profit organizations.
The guild needs your help in not letting the board drop below nine members. Please step forward and
contact any of the board members (contact information on the back of the newsletter) to let them know
that you want to serve on the board. The board only meets four times during the year for about three
hours. If you are unable to serve on the board, but know someone who would be a great board member,
please pass the name to us and we will contact them. Thank you for your help in keeping our
great Northwest Basket Weavers, Vi Phillips Guild continuing into the future.
Pine Needles for Sale
I have one huge longleaf pine tree that produces needles
from 15 to 24". Some even have four needles. This
year we have had so much rain in our area the pine
needles are a gorgeous brown gold color. I have been
selling to a store in Wisconsin who turns around and
resells them to basketmakers for $19.00 per pound. I
am selling them directly to basketmakers for $12.00
plus shipping. I don't charge more than it costs me. I
also can provide 12" pine needles at a cost of $9 per
pound plus shipping. Once I used the longer needles,
it's hard to go back to the 12". If you’re interested
email me with the subject “Longleaf Pine Needles” to
Elizabeth Lloyd, Chiefland, FL at

New Retreat ’09 Teachers:
Danielle Bodine, Sheila Wray & Marcy Johnson
Our plans for an out-of-region Feature Teacher did not quite work out, but “no hay problema!” - three new teachers
from Washington came to us!
Danielle (pron. Dan-EEL) Bodine, a Tacoma native, had been plying her fiber arts career in Michigan for more than
20 years, but has recently returned to WA and resides on Whidbey Island. With an M.F.A. from University of Michigan,
she has worked in textiles for 30 years: weaving, quilting, needlecraft, silk-screen, and later, with the addition of basketry
techniques, she could literally add another dimension to her work. Currently she enjoys experimenting with paper cast onto
basketry form, and adds her personal flair with wood-burning accents, collage and more. It is not surprising that she and
Nancy Moore Bess are friends, and that this summer Nancy held a workshop at Danielle’s studio. Danielle has had her own
gallery, exhibits around the country, and is featured in 500 Baskets. On the faculty for 15 years at the Birmingham Bloomfield
Art Center in Michigan, she currently offers workshops at the Coupeville Art Center.
Danielle offers two classes at Retreat, both featuring contemporary experimentation with paper on basketry structures,
offering the students endless creative opportunities. Danielle will also give a slide presentation there where we will
learn more about her work, contemporary basketry, with some slides from her recent trip with Nancy Moore Bess in Japan.
Our own Sheila Wray whom many of you have met at Retreat selling Attire and, with Elaine Twogood, running the
Gallery Exhibit, teaches Carole’s Basket, a plaited market basket in ‘oceanic colors’ with fused glass embellishments. Students
even get to have painting fun on the handles! Sheila runs Beyond the Basic Basket in Tacoma, she and Elaine teach
basketry together, and they can be found at the Puyallup and many another craft fair selling their high-quality reed baskets.
Many Seattleites know Marcy Johnson as the owner and operator of the popular Seattle fiber shop Weaving Works.
What many of you don’t know is that Marcy is also a basket-weaver. Like Sheila, Marcy will be teaching another mustknow
basic technique basket - the ribbed Appalachian basket, also known as an egg or melon basket. At Weaving Works
Marcy also teaches wicker basketry, loom weaving, spinning, papermaking, bookbinding, printing, and knitting. She designs
and produces many fiber products and consults with Seattle designer Sara Anderson.
Check out all the other great teachers and classes in the registration packet you should be receiving soon. You have
a second chance to take Rae Hunter’s all-naturals lamp that awed so many of you last year after you saw the finished products.
Weave a Hawaiian lauhala pillow with Sheila Tasker, ply-split with Therese Fisher. So many techniques, materials,
and forms to try! Our other wonderful teachers at Retreat ’09 are Sally Anaya, Polly Adams Sutton, Margaret Mathewson,
Donna Sakamoto Crispin, Marilyn Moore, Vicky Nickelson, Jo Ann Hart, Katherine Lewis, and Kay Harradine.
DOLL IT UP!
Just a reminder to be working on your dolls for the “Doll It Up” competition at the Spring Retreat!! If you are
unable to attend, you may submit your entry by email with a digital photo attached.
And for those that haven’t heard about it: for a donation of $3, you may purchase a doll pin kit from the
Northwest Basket Weavers Guild (will be available at meetings). Dress it up, weave around it, be creative! Only rule is
that the doll is at least 25% of the finished product.
For questions or to purchase a doll, contact Massy or Sally Anaya, 425-271-0647, sallyanaya9@comcast.net.
ANOTHER UPCOMING EVENT!
Friday, January 8, 2009 - Mark your calendars and save this date for a fun-filled day visiting galleries featuring
basketry in correlation with the "Intertwined" exhibition and "A Passion for Baskets" Symposium at Bellevue
Arts Museum. Nancy Moore Bess has agreed to be our tour guide. We plan to visit five participating galleries featuring
basketry and an exhibit that includes members of the N.W. Basket Weavers and NWDC entitled "Containers,
Contained and Content" at the Arts Council of Snohomish County. Details about this tour and how to sign up will be
announced soon. Please check the website page listing all of the January events on www.nwbasketweavers.org/

"Containers, Containment, and Contents"
January 9, 2009 to February 12, 2009 at the Arts Council of Snohomish County, 1507 Wall St., Everett. The Arts
Council of Snohomish County has offered the Northwest Basket Weavers Guild and Northwest Designer Craftsmen
a joint art show at the Monte Cristo Hotel Lobby. Katherine is working on the show as a board member of the Northwest
Basket Weavers Guild. This show coincides with the Bellevue Art Museum's show "Intertwined: Contemporary
Baskets from the Sara and David Lieberman Collection". Both of these shows will provide an opportunity to see
some of the best work in contemporary basketry. See how to enter below:
Call to Artists: all current Northwest Basket Weavers guild members are encouraged to submit entries
Show Title:
“Containers, Containment and Contents”
Theme: All baskets addressing the above show title. Miniatures are encouraged and will be in a protective enclosed
case, other works will be displayed on pedestals, hung on walls or can be freestanding if appropriate.
This show coincides with the Bellevue Art Museum’s show “Intertwined: Contemporary Baskets from the Sara and
David Lieberman Collection”. The Arts Council of Snohomish County has offered the Northwest Basket Weavers Guild and
Northwest Designer Craftsmen a joint show intertwined in the upper and lower floors of the Monte Cristo Hotel Lobby.
This is a great opportunity to show your work. It is just around the corner with dead lines …but the Arts Council of Snohomish
County delayed another show to give both memberships the opportunity to showcase their work in conjunction with the
BAM exhibit. Labels will show which organization(s) the artist is in and will make for a more cohesive presentation and less
stress for artists that are members of both organizations. It also mirrors the theme and the cooperation of the arts community in
the BAM show.
