Apron and Paper Napkin Challenges
Marcella combined paper napkins and vintage pattern envelopes to make beautiful art. She also brought an exquisite apron (below) she had once made for her mother-in-law, who felt it was too beautiful to use. So, after her mother-in-law passed away, Marcella ended up inheriting it!
Mary made a very cute apron from two dish towels she had purchased. She added colorful twill tape which she sewed on with variegated thread. She generously donated it to the evenings raffle. Thanks, Mary.
Bonnie brought an apron she had made many years ago. Clearly too beautiful to wear as an apron, this object d'art features piecework, vintage lace and trims, thread spools, and many beautiful embellishments.
Show and Tell
A year-long challenge was to make an apron and the challenge from last meeting was to make something from the paper napkins we all brought to share. Daisy cleverly combined both challenges by making a paper napkin apron.
Zanaib, the Queen of Greeting Cards, used napkins, as well as other colorful papers, to make many more of her lovely cards.
Geri is also known for her fabulous greeting cards, and above of some of her creations—including one that is an apron with tiny tools in the pocket. Lucky are the people receiving cards from Zanaib and Geri. I'm sure their cards are appreciated, kept and treasured.

Show and Tell
Bonnie brought this wonderful angel to add to the bookstore display in December. Perfect!
And Bonnie shared this amazing appliqued and stitched square.
Linda finished her "Frowning Frances" Banshee, which we all admired. She made the very clever stand from a doll base and painted thread spools.
And, she also completed a doll from the Christine Shively workshop, which is destined to become a part of the Christmas window display.
Marjorie's adorable witch was made from another Susan Barmore pattern. Wonderful face painting!
And, Marjorie also completed another Barmore pattern doll. This wonderful girl is seen holding a miniature Ouija Board.
Sally brought several of her latest paintings, which combine paper collage and watercolor painting. She even inspired the members of her watercolor painting class to try it, and they loved it!
Sally collaged some of her paper napkins with floral motif's for the flowers on the left and then painted the face with watercolors. Many of us can't wait to try this technique. After the holidays? At Sally's workshop? Looking forward to it!
