November 16: Member Journey with Tina Carrick
Pam Bartlett had to reschedule her Zinnia workshop due to a memorial service that was scheduled for that day.
In the meantime, Tina Carrick has graciously agreed to present a journey of her work this month. This will include painting, felting and, of course, rug hooking. Tina is known for her original and creative designs, often celebrating her love of nature.
The rug shown here was only her third rug and was her original design! We are sure everyone will be excited to see Tina’s work and hear about how she finds her inspiration. We hope to see you there!
We invite those whose last names begin with G-R to bring something to munch on in our meeting, either sweet or savory. Thank you in advance.
The special invitation show and tell theme for November is Landscapes.
Be sure to read about this year’s challenge project.
Note: we will be meeting in the first floor room of the St Agnes Parish Hall for this meeting.
December 14: Holiday Party
We will follow our tradition of hosting a gift swap. If you wish to participate, please come with an item that you made. You, in turn, will receive a gift made by another member. There have been some awesome gifts given and received in previous years, so we hope you will participate.
If you made a funky tree ornament from Ildi’s workshop in October, please bring it to our December meeting. We have plans for a special display to share everyone’s work!
Please remember that we meet a week earlier in December, so make sure you mark your calendars for December 14th!
