There are two Merry Cox workshops. Saturday, June 8th, will be the Swan Lake Drawstring Mending Bag and Sunday. June 9th, will be the Milady's Petite Sewing Box. Sign up with $25.00 deposit starts immediately. There will be no kits available to those who do not plan on attending the workshop. The deadline for signup will be March 24th. Kits will be available at the April 14th meeting for pickup allowing almost two months for pre-stitching. The only pre-stitching that HAS to be done for the workshop is on the bag and/or box itself. The smalls can be completed at a later date if need be. The workshop will concentrate on the FINISHING of the main item. You will be expected to attend the workshop and the balance of the kit fee and the teaching fee will be due on the day of the workshop. If you are unable to attend the meeting, please send a check for $4.00 made out to Lake Michigan Sampler Guild to the address below and the kit will be sent to you.
Roberta Siegel The kit fees are as follows: Swan Lake $130.00 and Milady $65.00. Merry does not put a maximum on the number of participants, so the teaching fee will depend on the number of attendees. That cost will be estimated in April when we know how many will attend.  On
Saturday,June 8, Merry Cox's "Swan Lake" drawstring mending bag is
done in red and white toile and has a stitched outer cover which unsnaps and folds
down to reveal a sampler needle book on one side and a small pocket with swans on
the other. The needlework, done all in red, depicts a countryside scene of a
woman holding a parasol, trees and swans in a lake. The other side is a redwork sampler.
Smalls include a scissors fob, a button bag and a ruler holder. The bottom of the
bag measures 3" X 5" and stitched areas are done on 32-count sandstone linen with
Weeks overdyed floss. The fee is $130.00 for the kit plus a teaching fee which
will be estimated in April.
