December Holiday Party and Announcements
There will not be a December evening meeting, instead we will be celebrating with a guild holiday party. The party will be at Monique’s house in Longmont on Thursday, December 6. Members, please check your email for full party details and you can RSVP at the member section.
For the party we will be doing a handmade ornament exchange. Bring a wrapped ornament and you will leave with someone else’s wonderful creation.
Several years ago, member Rebecca tried her hand at making a Scandinavian fabric star. It’s tricky, but there are plenty of tutorials and videos to walk you through it.
Mollie from Wild Olive made an english paper pieced ornament. If you still haven’t tried EPP, this would be a great small project to give it a try! The Boulder MQG learned EPP in April and the recap post has a few tips and tricks.
Stephanie from Swoodson Says has a tutorial for combining tiny fabric scraps with reverse appliqué felt. This could be made into any shape and is such a great idea.
There are a ton of options for handmade ornaments, have fun and we can’t wait to see what you make! We’ve put together a Pinterest board of Handmade Ornament Ideas if you need some inspiration.
