Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

November brought not only our program on how to finish our annual ornament, but also the celebration of several of our members’ winning pieces at the State Fair of Texas.  Entering your pieces at the Fair not only allows you to be acknowledged for your wonderful work but also to continue to share our love of needlework with new people and potentially expose a new generation to the art.

So, without further ado, show & tell…
