Happy October

Who else has one of these Halloween bracelets that Amanda taught? She made the candy corn button that is the closure.

I happily wear mine every October.

Bottlecap Pincushion

Amanda made another pincushion! Great idea. And he has real hardware.

July Meeting

Showing off some of the President's  Challenges today. Stitch your story was interpreted by many members in many ways. All meaningful and charming.

Our President then announced next year's challenge - stitch a piece that in inspired by a song title. Don't tell your title, next year we might play a guessing game.

Sewing Wild Oats

We had a lovely time. Ate way too much! Laughed a lot.

And, yes, we even stitched our fingers to the bone.

Stumpwork

Class went well on Wednesday. I'm flattered that 22 of you signed up!

I will work on an improved version of the directions soon. Thanks for all the feedback - Donna.

June Update

Busy week for me. Wednesday is my stumpwork class and Thursday we leave for our Sewing Wild Oats retreat at Graves Mountain.

Stay tuned for photos!

Be the Change

I'm not advocating for any political position. Simply pointing out the possibility of making change with a needle and thread.

June's Class

Donna's stumpwork dogwood. The class will be about stitching the flower. But if you take the class, you will receive the pattern for the canvaswork box.

Interesting that one person had so many of these blocks.

Great article.
