For July: prep for a Make-and-Take Project

from  Patsy Franko

The July program will be a sewing venue. The theme of this program is "Christmas in July."  Members participating will make a 42"x 13" Christmas Tree wall hanging (table runner?).  The pattern showed each section of the Christmas Tree to be a contrasting "holiday" themed fabric. Think of different patterns as well, i.e., holly and berries on a black background or a green and red plaid, gold and silver ornaments on a green background, and etc.

A sample pattern was passed around and the supplies list you will need to bring to the July meeting can be found below. 

Members please bring your sewing machine and supplies, plus Christmas themed fabrics or lots of green fabric to share. Fat quarters are acceptable.  Come and bring your "party" spirit along for a fun-filled afternoon of sewing and friendship!
