We will be treated to a presentation by Shirlee Fassell, a CRVC member from Longmeadow, MA.  The following is a description of what she will "show and tell":

"I have loved and studied many forms of embroidery my entire life.  When I attended the Ecole Lesage, Paris France, I was literally HOOKED on the tambour technique or as the French refer to it the Lunéville hook .  I incorporate the couture embroidery techniques I am learning in France along with my years of embroidery experience to create my own unique art quilts.  My lecture will detail my journey."

After Shirlee's presentation, we will have lunch and continue stitching the Quaker ball pieces.  Please bring your kit and sewing supplies and hopefully we will find answers to any questions that may have arisen.
