Happy Halloween!

While the kiddos are enjoying this delightful evening dressed as little ghouls, witches and monsters, I am going to share the happenings of our Tudor Rose Sampler Guild meeting at the beginning of October. First, we exchanged Halloween Ornaments for our second ornament exchange. Although not as many ornaments were created this year, those that were exchanged were very lovely. Check them out.

Then on October 15, 2016, Holly Risen taught our members how to create scrimshaw pieces. I wish I could have attended, but it was not meant to be. However, another member sent us a few pictures. Hope you enjoy.
