Ready to make some DCBG Marketing Flowers…here’s how! Follow this link to YouTube!
On September 8, 2021, the Guild received the following email from Girl Scout Katie and her mother…
“Good afternoon, I wanted to thank the Deer Creek Basketry Guild for putting together your collection of Learning Resources, Free Patterns, and Conventions! My daughter Katie’s Girl Scout troop is currently working on their Arts and Crafts Fun Patch and the resources on your page helped us a bunch!
Katie’s troop leader encouraged us parents to work with our girls at home to ensure we stay on track! She asked the girls to find some fun, at-home activities for crafting like basket weaving. Your page led us to some great websites to check out, so Katie and I wanted to make sure we thanked you :)”
Katie found the following website you will want to check out! All About Basket Weaving | Avas Flowers, and within this site are additional links to more great resources. “Katie, the Guild wants to thank you for sharing your “basket adventure” with us and contributing to our resource page! You’ve made it a much better resource for all of our members and others like you researching the art of basketry! Thank you so much!!”
