***Instead of meeting at the Thistle Needleworks store, we will have a Zoom video meeting beginning at 10am.  If you wish to join us then, please email Linda Berry at lindaberry343@gmail.com.  She will make sure your email address is included for the meeting invite.

The program for the June meeting will be more than a little different.  First off, we will be meeting online via Zoom – you will receive an invitation via email and just clicking on the link in that email at the time of the meeting will bring you into the meeting “class room”.

Stitching a birthday plaid:  The program will be a bit of a stash-buster – in other words, you will supply all that you need from your stash of canvas and threads.  Please “bring” the following to the meeting:

1) A piece of needlepoint canvas, any count, about 5" x 10" or whatever you have handy.  On stretcher bars recommended but not mandatory.

2) Eight skeins of solid-colored threads that look good together – partial skeins are OK.
They must be the appropriate thickness for the canvas you have.
One should be a metallic, but not more than one metallic should be in your selection.
It could be a “duo-chromatic” selection with 3-4 values of one color and the balance in another color.  Or it could be just a mix of colors you have and like.

3) Needles and scissors.
4) Light and magnification, as needed.
5) Notepaper and a pen or pencil.
