Fall 2009 Gathering


At least 28 ladies gathered to stitch and enjoy each others company.  Our community room was almost filled to capacity.

Delores lined up to get her plate and she browsed through the new books on display.


Savory and Sweet dishes taste even better in good company.

Phyllis's creativity produced this beautiful fall scarf.



Natalie created these whimsical crochet dolls for Nancy.



She gives some of her creations away, but this kitty she'll keep for a little girl in her family.  She reported that the cat's ears were a tad larger and she had to make some adjustments so the creature would stand. He's got personality.     

                                                


Rita continues to make progress and creating one of a kind gnomes.  Her favorite place to acquire wool for felting is the Goodwill Store.  The hats are lined and she uses wire to keep them in place.  She uses wool for the beard.  Here's another very cute version of a gnome.  Looks like it would also take less time to construct.  Click on the word gnome.




The gnome's feather is from a guinea fowl.  Rita knows someone in Montawk, Long Island who collects them for her.






Rita also made this turban from a pattern Shelia shared with the ladies.



Pat's collection of chemo caps continues to grow.  She is delighted to be able to use leftover worsted weight yarn and eyelash yarn to make these.
