We are coming up on our Saturday meeting in July on the 28th. As we have for the past 2 years, this meeting will be held at the Vienna Presbyterian Church located at 124 Park Street, Vienna, VA 22180. It is across the street from the Whole Foods store and can easily be accessed from Maple Avenue (Route 123) or Church Street. Social time begins at 9:30 a.m.There will be a short business meeting at 10:00 a.m. before we begin our class with Pamela Darney.
If you arrived before 9:30, please wait till 9:30 before visiting our vendors. They need time to do set-up.
A few photos from July 2011. Remember how hot that was? Maybe this year we can start a new cooling trend for this meeting.
In August we'll begin a conversation about Goldwork with our own Michael Ann.
If you have any finished pieces, feel free to bring them to share. We will practice some techniques for which you might want to bring an 6" hoop, a tightly woven piece of non-stretchable fabric, a spool of fine metallic thread such as Kreinik, a selection of sharp needles including an extra large one for sinking, a pair of sharp tweezers and scissors appropriate for cutting metallic thread. Also useful too are a set of clamps to hold the
hoop/frame to the table.
Coupons are due if you want your lunch delivered at the July luncheon.

Our June meeting was a bit chilly for the morning group. But we successfully dealt with our frozen toes and learned all about our Casket Etui. I don't know about anyone else, but I've finished the stitching on my thimble bag. Now on to the big piece of linen.
Tinka joined us in the morning and we got to see some lovely finishes since last we saw her in December. Here are a few.
Lee finished a large Quaker piece from Needleprint. A very different look with those bright pinks.
Barbara F. brought it some beautiful Schwalm and Swedish Naversom.
Melissa finished her delicious colorway from the April class - "Holiday Square."
Kathy's off to a wedding with the sampler she finished at our retreat in March.
Three lovely canvas pieces by Barb L.
And Sue J. brought in two pillows. I love the tartan plaid.
