GROUP ACTIVITIES AND SHOW AND TELL
Encouraging each other
is an important and effective way to share and gain knowledge as well
as increase confidence in ourselves as well as others.
Bringing our projects for Show and Tell is a wonderful way to accomplish this.
Photos of members'
projects shown at recent meetings are in this gallery.
Apologies to any person whose project was not photographed---
please contact Donna Slusser to make arrangements to try again
or bring to the next meeting!

PROGRAM
"Selecting Fabric & Color Schemes" was a continuation of the

where the results were not as they had envisioned. It was helpful to diagnose
and analyze how they could have been better. Thanks for being willing to share!
