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.

Once again we returned for a fabulous time at River Creek Clubhouse. They do a beautiful job of decorating and the food is always wonderful.

This post has pictures of our ornament exchange.

Wonderful Piece About Frayed Ends

I've neglected our blog, for which I apologize. I'm going to make an effort to post here once a week. We'll see how that goes through the holiday season. 

Here's a useful article from Kreinik on frayed ends. It applies to more than just Kreinik's threads.

July Meeting

Thank you to everyone involved today.
We had  a successful stash sale of Kay's stash. Raised some money for the guild, but most importantly got charts, kits, books, and threads into the hands of people who will appreciate them.

Had a wonderful presentation by Jane W. who shared her Royal School of Needlework experiences with us. Thank you, Jane.

Socialized with old and new friends and had a great time!

Revival

Going to attempt to bring this back to life.

This week we have Melissa's fabulous assissi class.

July is our stash sale and lecture by Jane Williams.

And August is my class, Jack: in a Box.
