This month, we will gather for a hands-on session with two different patterns that Kym and Janet R. found to implement what we learned in September. Practice the technique of your choice to create a pincushion or coaster using the traditional hexagon shape. Pattern, fabric, templates, and thread will be available so all you need to bring is your favorite sharp needle and a desire to have fun!

Join us if you dare! We will be cutting out the windows for the weaving and finishing of our Seasonal Hardanger Tree Ornament. We will be planning our journey for weaving the interior of our small tree. Then we will discuss and practice cutting next to the blanket stitch for a perfectly finished edge. Be of good courage. It is an easy edge and a great tool to have in your stitching repertory.
Bring a lunch if you would like to stay and stitch until 2:00.
