Recently, I applied for membership in the Southern Highland Guild. Eligibility is restricted to counties in or abutting the southern Appalachian mountains. Pickens County is one of only four in South Carolina that qualify. My application sailed through the first round of consideration. For the final round, applicants can select to bring five pieces for a three-panel jury to score or participate in the upcoming summer craft show in Asheville. Since my reason for seeking membership has everything to do with the opportunities for being in the guild's craft shows, I opted for this second choice. That also means that I am now steadily increasing my inventory of In Box and Fiber Stained Glass work to go into my craft show booth. These two are just the beginning!
The craft show will be held in the Harrah's
Cherokee Convention Center in downtown Asheville, NC from July 16 - 19, 2026. I have lots of work already available but this is a great excuse to make even more! I love stitching these!
