We will be treated to a presentation by Shirlee Fassell, a CRVC member from
Longmeadow, MA. The following is a description of what she will "show
and tell":
"I have loved and studied many forms of embroidery my entire life.
When I attended the Ecole Lesage, Paris France, I was literally HOOKED on
the tambour technique or as the French refer to it the Lunéville
hook . I incorporate the couture embroidery techniques I am learning
in France along with my years of embroidery experience to create my own unique
art quilts. My lecture will detail my journey."
After Shirlee's presentation, we will have lunch and continue stitching the
Quaker ball pieces. Please bring your kit and sewing supplies and hopefully
we will find answers to any questions that may have arisen.
