Many thanks to the team of people who worked so diligently to organize the Northeast Basketmakers Guild's 2009 Gathering. They did a great job and pulled off another successful basketry event. This kind of event takes a huge amount of planning and the work put in by the entire team was evident. In particular, thanks go to Michele Graham and Carol Welch who were co-chairs of the conference. The three day event was packed with activities and as always there was just too much to take in completely.
I was so busy taking classes, manning my table at the marketplace and catching up with old friends that I didn't take as many photos as I thought I would, but here are a few that I hope will help capture a sense of the fun.

Hopefully you will be able to participate in a basketry conference sometime soon. They are great fun, but be warned....they can be so filled with great stuff they can make you dizzy.
