The Complex Weavers will be meeting soon, and they have just announced their event details, one of which is a memorial grant in honour of Sandra Rude.
I first 'met' Sandra when I was a member of WeaveTech. We had several conversations online, and then I was able to meet her at a conference. We continued to stay in touch now and then, and when she died, it was a blow.
I remember her as a very kind person, very supportive as I went through a number of health issues. When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 she sent me this wall hanging. I had been anticipating losing my hair during chemo and she chose to remind me that even the mighty oak will lose it's leaves, but it remains strong and beautiful.
It was such a thoughtful gift and the textile still hangs in my living room - a subtle reminder to stay rooted in my strength (or stubbornness, whatever)
Anyway, if you are interested in attending Complex Weavers Seminars but having trouble with finances, you could apply for the Sandra Rude Memorial Grant.
