June 15, 2024, Business Meeting
Leslie and Ann R. are our outreach committee. They announced that UFDC would like to be a sister club! A future combined meeting was discussed to possibly be held in May 2025 at a location convenient for both groups. We are looking forward to sharing our dolls with this wonderful group of collectors. We also discussed our future spring 2025 class which Barbara Schoenoff will be presenting for us.
Program
Kathryn presented our program on Felt Embroidery. She brought many samples for us to see. Your work is amazing, Kathryn. We are definitely inspired by your work. She made kits for us to make our very own Hand Embroidered Felt pin cushion. Sue Spargo is a fabulous instructor with this technique and Kathryn brought books Sue has written and a sampler she created from one of Sue's patterns. Following are pictures of her creations and class work.
