Program: Texture Magic by Sharon Shute

In July, we‘re having a presentation by Sharon Shute on Texture Magic. (I personally think of it as Shrinky-Dink for fabric, but maybe I‘m giving my age away.) Sharon will be showing us some of the terrific ways that you can use this, and you will be given an opportunity to get close and see what it does. Also, because of how much we‘ve grown, I‘ll be asking you to participate in an activity that will give me a better idea of what your interests and needs are for the coming year.

Please contact Ellen - Program Chair for more information.

In August, Scarlett Rose will be sharing with us her love of Celtic appliqué.

Program:  It’s Party Time...
The December meeting is our annual

Christmas party and gift exchange.

 

 

 Everyone who would like to participate in the gift exchange needs to bring one yard of good quality  fabric (wrapped) AND a useless item (wrapped). Place these two gifts in a grocery style brown paper bag. Mark your bag somehow maybe with a colored bow or some other decoration, so you know it is your bag. (That way, you won't pick your own!)

 

 The gift exchange is anonymous-no need to sign your name.


What's a party without food? If you didn't get a chance to sign up for an item to bring to the potluck, please feel free to bring anything you'd like. If you have any questions, please contact our Hospitality Chairmen.

 

Please contact Ellen - Program Chair for more information.
