From the Circle, July 23





We sat on the sofa in the front room and soaked up the sun (great embroidery light) and caught breezes through the screen door.

Lisa is making a "shirt dress" out of. . .three shirts! Same shirt, different colors and it might be embellished with embroidery and possibly some Bee ribbon. Lisa will wear her new creation to our August 6th gathering.



She recommends we check out http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome for designs that can be printed on fabric.

Cynthia continues working on her animal war hero logo.

Peggy is finishing her couching/embroidery on handmade paper.

Sherri worked on her "orphan needlework pieces" How wonderful they will find a new home.
Ann continues the "Hankie Buffett" and Joan her "You don't have to tell mother everything.
We all exclaimed about the beauty of the day!
Joan reminded us how hot it was last summer. How hot was it!?! THIS HOT on Joan's porch!




Also…..Sherri wanted to share two stitching opportunities with everyone.

First, Creative Bug is offering the on-line class, Happy Go-Lucky Stitch Along, taught by Amy Powers. It runs August  21 – September 3 and offers daily video tutorials, live chats with the instructor, downloadable pdfs, a private gallery and more all for just $20! . Sherri made the sampler she brought two weeks ago in the 2012 version of this class.

Second is the PeaceFlag Project: Call for Entries. This is an opportunity to make a small art flag (finished piece is 5 x 8) by sewing, painting, printing, stenciling and stitching for peace, love, and compassion.  The flags will be shown at the Ohio Craft Museum (scrolled down the page for the peace flag info) but the deadline is just around the corner!
