The September/October issue of Handwoven Magazine has this quote on the FiberHearts Winners page.
"Woodstock Weavers Guild in Illinois, is a relatively new guild (formed in 1997). Woodstock weavers have provided weaving support and outreach to an area that previously did not have an organized community of weavers. They will receive a beautiful Kessenich table loom to support their programs."
Thanks to Interweave Press and all Woodstock Weavers Guild Members who made this award possible.
