August 2014 Show & Tell

Once again, our talented members put on a very interesting and impressive Show & Tell after our August meeting.

 

Alice C stitched this cute, fall-themed bookmark.

 

Amy P stitched this impressive needlepoint pillow.

 

Barb P stitched these fun Hallowe'en skeletons.

 

Becky M stitched the two fabulous Christmas pillows above.

 

Becky also completed this lovely holiday brooch,

which was a chapter education project from earlier in the year.

 

Pat B completed the guild workshop piece and a small pincushion.

Last but not least,
Renee stitched a prototype of the teaching piece

for the Camp Quality outreach program.

It's a super hero shield!


Until next month, keep stitching!

The Lake County Fair

The Lake County Fair is being held all this week, through Sunday, August 10, 2014, at the Fairgrounds in Crown Point, IN.  Our members once again did us proud.  Congratulations to all of them!   Here are photos from Exhibitors' Night.

If you have a chance, you should go out to see these exhibits (and the rest of the Fair).  Conditions for photography in the Family Arts and Crafts Building are challenging.  The exhibits definitely look much better in person!

Don't forget our upcoming meeting on Tuesday, August 5th.  The program will be embellishing crazy quilts.
