October 2019

Geri did a demo on making cording to be used to embellish projects. Various items around the house can be used to twist the threads such as a pencil, hand mixer, cordless screwdriver or variable speed drill. A cording tool is also available commercially.

Show and Share

Kim brought in an alphabet stitch sampler to see if we were interested in doing it as a guild project over several months. A Sunday in January is being investigated to kick off the project. Stitchers will have choice of fabric and thread colours.

Marion brought in a box of ornaments. They were printed on fabric and embellished by appliqué, beads, and embroidery. The hangers are metal wire.

She also stitched this piece she is using as a cover for a coil-bound notebook.

Marion also displayed a bookmark done in Ukrainian whitework.

 Geri displayed her framed Cinnamon Stars,

her wool appliqué sheep pincushion,

and a wee felt appliqué ornament.

Marion will be doing the program at our next meeting on November 20, 2019.
