“What we did on our summer vacations: Member Show ‘n Tell”

 So fun to start out in the fall with a  Member Show 'n Tell.  If you would like me to add either a picture or a description to this blog please email me.  We can't have too many pictures. Starting out is an overall view of all the wonderful and diversified projects.

Nancy D.

Nancy made this basket out of a very old tattered quilt,  she won a ribbon at MLH .
Nancy then got to pick  a gift, she chose the wonderful scarf below.

Nancy also experimented with eco-printing and ice dyeing, on several different fibers.

She also took a felting class from Suzanne D. and made this bird.
