Meeting:
Who’s minding the needle? We will finish our needle minders to go along with our stitching trays and review twisted cord making. We will do our “Winter Sled Exchange”
- Last time we met; our project was the Elizabeth Pearson stitching tray. Our needle minder project is to complement this tray. We will also go over how to make twisted cord and assembling our needle minders. If you have not stitched your motif, options for a stitched needle minder could be a piece of vintage inspired fabric, embroidered handkerchief, or another textile of your choosing. The possibilities are endless. Please bring your basic sewing supplies: needle, scissors, thread (color will not show)
- Christmas Sled Swap – bring your stitched sled to exchange
- How do you organize your needles? We would love to see or hear how you do!
