On November 6th, it’s Show Time: Bring your Stockings, Santas, angels, menorahs, dreidels and tallis bags for a really Big Show. If you have one of these canvases and need help with stitches, we have some volunteers that are happy to share their expertise. We will have breakfast from 9:30-10:30, then have a short business meeting. Then the fun begins with show and tell, a few door prizes then stitching time.
Please join us at Rose Al-Banna’s spooky house for a Halloween Sitch-In! See the newsletter for RSVP directions and details.
On October 2nd, we will learn about the binding stitch. Binding is used for belts, rugs and anything that is made of separate parts and you put together. It is a finishing stitch. In the past we made a folding ort box. The pieces had binding stitch around and then you stitched the pieces together. If people would like to try, bring a needle and scissors.
