. . .and I almost let all of them slip away before I got this blog post up; how pathetic is that?
At the meeting, in Ann W.’s absence, Lynn E. reminded everyone of the Catherine Theron 2-day workshop coming up in November. The deadline to sign up is September 15.
We have some great teaching opportunities coming up in the next 18 months. . . Linda Lautenschlager, of Chessie and Me, is coming to teach in Spring 2014. Dames of the Needle may teach a workshop in Fall 2014, and Ellen Chester, of With My Needle, will teach in Spring 2015. How about that for an all-star line-up!
Marie Z. also reminded everyone about upcoming programs: October – Cyndi S. & Debbie G. teach the design and construction of the 2013 Tudor Rose Holiday Ornament.

At the September meeting, Pam C. demonstrated how to embellish the crochet trim for small projects such as a pincushion. Members brought a stitched, finished pincushion, to which they added button trim.
