Freestyle Stitch-of-the-Month #9 Stem Stitch
Led by Eileen
Outreach Pillowcase Project
Led by Janice
It’s time again for holiday pot lucks! Please bring a lunch item/dessert/snack to share. It does not need to be homemade! Try to make time in your busy schedule to come out and join us!
We will also be wrapping up the Freestyle Stitch-of-the-Month project with part #9 on stem stitch. We will have a brief lesson in between eating snacks.
Finally, Janice, chair of our outreach committee, will be bringing fabric and threads for our Outreach pillowcase project for you to take home with you. Embroider a design onto the fabric, return it to Janice, and she will turn it into the border of a pillowcase. Finished pillowcases will be donated to the Children’s Home of Easton – for more information about the children’s home and the good work they do, visit their website at thechildrenshome.org. Donations of cotton fabric suitable for children from elementary to high school age are also very welcome!

Star Sampler Block #7 – Shaded Blackwork & Portuguese Stem Stitch
Introducing the Blackwork Journey Band Sampler Year-long
Stitch-along Project

We will have a discussion about shaded blackwork and the impossibility of neat backs with this technique. We will also learn the Portuguese stem stitch, which is an obscure stitch that is actually pretty fun to do.
