Luncheon & More

Stitched for Christmas but useful all year round, work will continue on this charming etui worked onto pristine white linen with variegated thread in shades of forest green, white, gold and red.

There's a lot to look forward to in June! Business meeting, installation of officers, summer challenge reveal and a presentation of 2023-24 projects.

For lunch, members will choose from the menu and pay for it individually. The chapter will treat everyone to a dessert of their choice.

Stitchings for the coveted Billie Award should be completed and brought to be shared for proper kudos!

Christmas Angel was first designed and taught by Patty Kahl in the early 1990s. This delightful angel incorporates pulled thread and surface stitches on easy-on-the-eyes 19 count cork linen. The use of gold threads and beads give her a bit of sparkle.

Instructions will be available as a pdf for download and a materials kit to purchase by the November meeting for distribution at the December meeting.

Patty will teach Christmas Angel during the January and February remote Zoom meetings.
