October 26 - Reba Siero will give us a mini-workshop on Swedish Weaving/Huck embroidery. Please bring a small pair of scissors, details from Reba about what to bring for the mini-workshop:
A small pair of scissors would be great - then we don't have to borrow from each other!
I will bring all the other supplies for the day.
These include huck toweling, 6-strand embroidery floss, smaller pearl cotton and a tapestry needle.
If you have an embroidery floss or a pearl cotton color that you really would like to use - bring it along.
Snack for the October 26 meeting: Kris Peerand & Carol Causey
