Karen Duggan will teach us an "Or' Nue" name tag...it is gold and has a flower and your name...one day, one stitch, one thread.  This meeting will be in the Duncaster conference room.  On the registration coupon, please check if you wish to order a lunch ($12).  This will be a generous half-sandwich, fruit, chips, a cookie and a drink from Indigo Kitchen in Avon (homemade bread, high quality meats, etc.).  You are welcome to bring your own lunch if you prefer.  As always, you are very welcome to attend if you only wish to join us and stitch on your own project.

The kit is $40.  It includes the canvas, the #7 Japan gold, the silk couching thread, the DMC couching thread, the chart, the colored picture, the directions and the needles (also the pin and the backing material to make it into a nametag).
