May 21, 2014

Fumbling again :-(

Bobbie brought the Franz Von Zulow book PAPER  - the photo of the town is in the previous post.

She also brought the BUFFET OF HANKIES

Which is the picture I missed from the May 14 entry.

She has generously let each of us pick one.  We will make a Prayer flag style line of them for our next show.  Everyone who is finished by Labor Day can show them.  She has more if you missed it.

Maureen is doing Kindness, Beauty Truth on hers.

I got excited after reading the book Bobbie recommended - the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
& Have finished mine  - A quote from the book about how Harold came to trust in the basic goodness of people.



Pamela "Perfection is a huge problem for me."  A book said "You'll never succeed because of your perfectionism."  Yarn store clerk to Bobbie "If you want PERFECT - they sell sweaters at the store."

Maureen brought a wonderful book  EMBROIDERY STITCHES

Lisa Binkley workshop at Woodland ridge Retreat July 16-18  Sounds terrific!
DOTS AND DASHES: THE LANGUAGE OF THE HANDMADE STITCH

Peggy brought a Seminole Patchwork vest she made & the book with patterns in it by Cheryl Greider Bradkin.

 "Dots & Dashes: The Language of the Hand-Made Stitch" "Dots & Dashes: The Language of the Hand-Made Stitch" "Dots & Dashes: The Language of the Hand-Made Stitch"
Peggy shared her 7 year old Grandaughter's Tulip poem and stitching. 
(& Last Weds we got to meet her)


Maureen brought her Paper dolls, collaged memories of a trip to Russia.  She made copies of them glued them back to back and gave them as presents - ornaments.


PVA glue is archival

You can create a planning board using foam core thin batting and flannel - fabric clings to it without pins

Great pictures of the patterns that repeat in many cultures and artists of all ages.

Bobbie said "another magic Wednesday" & " We're like bad 4 year olds."

Just having a GREAT TIME again!
