June Meeting: Saturday, June
4th
(Note: First Saturday of month)
"Spread Your Wings"
This meeting will be a one-day workshop with Debbie Forney, a teacher at
national seminars and Callaway School of Needlework. Her background
includes wholesale needlepoint designer and Certification in Embroidery from
the Royal School of Needlework. Thistle Needleworks
(see the directions) has offered
its classroom as our meeting place, so plan to be there at 10 AM.
Debbie will provide us with 4 choices of butterfly designs
(see the choices). We
will choose one and transfer it to congress cloth. She will discuss
why elements are chosen for a design and lead us through planning our own
color design on graph paper. There will be an extensive discussion
of textures and how to achieve them. She will give lots of advice about
how to choose threads to create effects. The kit fee is $15.
All you need to bring is colored pencils as there will be no stitching in
this session.
If you wish to order lunch, a menu from Mark's Restaurant will be available
when you arrive.

Bring something for show and tell, especially something new you have tried
(and it doesn't have to be finished)! You are all welcome to attend
the meeting, even if you do not wish to participate in the class. Bring
your stitching and listen as we learn.
A new challenge will be handed out at this meeting. Our plans
are to have a display of the results at next year's annual meeting in
April. Make sure to join in the fun!
