Cyndy Sieving came from Columbus, Ohio to judge our Elements Challenge Dolls. There are seven entrants that Cyndy judged and she admitted it was quite a difficult task. The winners of the judging will be announced at the November Show and Sale.
At the November Show and Sale there will be a table with these entrants and possibly a few more. If you have completed an Elements challenge doll that you would like to enter for the People's Choice Award please bring it or send it with some one who is coming to set up for the show. If you have an entry for the People's Choice Award that is not pictured above, please email Andrea at least 3 days before the show. She needs your name and the doll's name. There will also be a table for our workshop dolls Patience and Grace, Jelly Roll Challenge dolls, and any new dolls you have completed this year.
Cyndy brought her sample dolls for the 2017 AFICC that will be April 20-23, 2017. Be sure and visit her web site, http://cyndysdolls.com/, for more information about classes and instructors. These instructors are extremely talented and have a variety of techniques to be learned.
Business Meeting
Details of the November Show and Sale were discussed. If you have a table to set up or dolls to display at the Show and Sale, please come to the church on Friday between 3-5, or Saturday at 9am. Maggie is arranging to have all the tables we need for you. Katie had emailed us the flier we can print out to distribute and brought in the postcards for us to mail to family and friends with last year's three winners. Thanks Katie! The flier and postcards look great!

While the judging was being done on the challenge dolls, Virginia tied us up with fingerweaving. This could become addictive! Thanks, Virginia for teaching us this technique. It has many possibilities for embellishing our dolls!
