Our meeting this month will be held at Thistle Needleworks.  Judie will teach a counted piece, the Danish Star Ornament, in the morning and a canvas piece, Top Hat Snowman, in the afternoon.  You may choose to stitch one or both on your registration form.  Information describing each ornament follows:

Danish Star Ornament

Using ecru perle cotton on gold-flecked 25-count Lugana fabric with satin stitch, cable stitch, and buttonhole stitch, we will work on a self-finishing ornament.  It will also be available in Watercolors and Wildflowers green and red threads on the same Lugana fabric. Don't want/need an ornament?  Then add some potpourri to the filling for a lovely sachet.

Participants should bring embroidery scissors and magnification, if needed.
Complete kit  --  $7.50

Top Hat Snowman

Using a variety of specialty threads, beads, and stitches on a lightly painted (by our own Susan Jones) winter sky grey 18-mesh canvas, we will build a snowman  --  sorry, no meadow included.  Your 3" square design could be finished as an ornament, doorknob hanger, or boxtop.

Participants should bring 6" x 6" stretcher bars and tacks, embroidery scissors, and magnification, if needed.
Complete kit:  $20.00
