Charlie Hovey, a longtime MLWS guild member, was a talented, meticulous weaver who produced beautiful cloth, frequently in his favorite blues. Among many guild related activities, he was substantially involved in the Quilt Show, school demonstrations, and the October Festival in Columbia. When the guild set up a weaving workshop, he taught classes, repaired looms, and was always available to help and to inspire other weavers and to share his extensive knowledge of weaving. Charlie was remarkably creative in determining how to amend equipment or revise designs for better weaving results.
The MLWS guild wa fortunate to have had this wonderful and caring man as a member of our family for so many years.
Thank you for your support of our fiber community.
Sincerely, Patricia Myrick, Treasurer
