Presenter: Marianne Burr from Coupeville, WA, who creates innovative wall hangings by hand. One of Marianne’s pieces, “Ezekiel’s Wheels,” graced the cover of the February 2009 issue of American Style.

Our December meeting will again feature our holiday bazaar, an opportunity for members to display their creations for sale, as well as the annual silent auction to raise funds for our outreach project, the Coffee Creek quilting program.

See the article elsewhere in this newsletter for details.

Karen Miller is offering a special holiday gift to our members immediately following the main portion of the December meeting -- a free mini-class on making the embroidered medallions/amulets many of you have seen and admired. No pre-registration is required; just stick around after the meeting if you’d like to participate. Here’s the supply list. Contact Karen (nautilus- fiberarts@comcast.net) if you have questions:
small hoop and scrap fabric to learn the bouillon knot scraps of lightweight silk (5" square is big enough) small amount of loose fiberfill lightweight cardboard, like shirt cardboard or tablet back; acid-free is good but not essential
embroidery floss, small beads, etc. SILK BUTTONHOLE TWIST (especially nice to have for the long bouillon knots)
decorative cord for the neck #8 perle cotton for tassel, if desired sewing thread to match silk needles, scissors, pins, etc.
