PROGRAM: “Suzanne Ditsler: Needle-Felting the Bluebird of Happiness”

 


Suzanne had needle-felting tools, foam and wool all set up for the 28 of us who attempted to learn how to needle-felt a bluebird.  Whether it is a "bluebird of happiness" is yet to be determined.

Following are pictures of everyone working really hard for 2 hours, we do have homework though.  Thank you so much Suzanne, what a fun day.













Judy wove the scarf she has on.

Janice on the right knit the beautiful sweater she has on.
