March Comes In Like a Lion

Bringing you much belated news from our March guild meeting. The guild program for the evening was a button lanyard taught by our Assistant Programs Chair, Shari H.

And here is a peek of what our May program is going to be…

Cyndi S. will be teaching how to stitch on silk gauze and using this darling peacock motif. The cost for the program is $5 for the supplies. Look how tiny that is compared to the penny sitting on the table in front of it!

And now, on to show & tell. We had some amazing things members brought to share.

1 1 — Ruth Bunker (Antique Sampler from 1831) owned by Judy M.

This is Ruth Bunker, an antique sampler from 1831, found by Judy M. while on an antique shopping trip in Florida. The verse is from Revelations and stitched over one on 52/60 ct. linen. Judy was able to get this little sampler for a very low price.
