NEWS

Erin and Sherri will be Making Memory Cloths at Currant Events at Erin's farm July 12
Plus there will be fruit treats!  RSVP

Pamela N's niece Laura  made this embroidery - she may come visit us soon.


Maureen G is taking a silk scarf to France  with Paintstiks to make rubbing souvenirs of her trip.
And the example is by Lois Jarvis, Madison fiber artist.





We talked about Jenny Hart   &  her Embroidery tutorials
and her Sublime Stitching patterns

&  Leslie Riley 

& Piper Shepard - who was in the Figge Museum show
( Bobbie recommends it & will bring the catalog next week)


& Louise Saxton
assembling found embroideries

Leslee brought some extra Flo Oy Wong catalogs.  She makes room sized embroidered family stories.



& perhaps we could do a BLINK grant on embroidering on a  chain link fence

Everyone watch for a fence that needs a temporary enhancement.
& save old fabrics to use to embroider.  The grant is due October 1.

Anyone want to take this on? It's $1500 &  an easy one to write.


Sherri spotted this school fence down Lakeside Street.




Here we are!

GREAT FINDS

Lovely print of a sampler from 1832 by 10 year old girl. Cathy S found it at a garage sale.
