Cathy H. has again set up a sit and stitch day at the Raley's event Center in Placerville.  It will be Saturday, November 3rd from 10 - 1.  If you have a unfinished pen case bring it along and we will work on finishing them.  You can bring anything you want to work on.  It's just a fun time stitching and talking. Thank you Cathy, these are fun events.

HARDANGER WREATH PROJECT
Materials to bring:
Red Hardanger 6"x 6"
#5 white pearl cotton
#8 white pearl cotton
#4 silver Krenik Braid
Any color of Hardanger cloth can be used as well as the color of pearl cotton.  Lugana may be used, but the ornament will be slightly larger.  I have a couple of red pieces if any one wants to have them.  (First come, first serve.)
Instructions on how to get to the petite projects on the National EGA site.  You will find the instructions for the hardanger wreath project.  (If you don't have a computer or have trouble finding it, let me know and I will print one for you.)
