On Tuesday I fired up the GO! and cut out a zillion wool oak leaves…well OK…maybe not a zillion but close!
My ladies’ group needed about 60 table favours for our Fall Dinner (to be held in two weeks)..so of course when Jan, the Vice President, phoned asking for help I thought WOOL and GO! I mean really, they were on my mind anyway…. :o) Team them up and what do you have?… Some very pretty Fall Oak leaves…
I used my sewing machine to quickly stitch the veins… sandwiching two leaves together...
Last night about 18 FANTASTIC ladies came over and we stitched the broach pins on the back…lickity split…no slowp(oaks) in this group…BUT of course it wasn’t ALL business.. there was lots of laughing and chatter and of course tons of eating…
But we got ‘er..DONE!!
SEW what do you think? Everyone who attends the dinner will find a Fall Oak Leaf Br(oak)ch at their dinner plate made especially for them!
Can’t you see these pinned onto a bag, scarf, hat or a jacket…very cute! Do you think we will be setting a NEW fashion trend here in the Cowichan Valley? :oO
Darned if I didn’t forget to take pictures of the ladies stitching…but you know how it goes when you are busy …talking…eating…stitching…talking…laughing…EATING …And that’s no J(oak)!
I’m off to the Spa this morning…the Doggie Spa! The girls need a clipping and a manicure…ahhh it’s a dogs’ life around here! I should be so lucky!! haha
Have a thrilling Thursday and Happy Quilting!~P
What lucky guests at the dinner and the leaves will look so cute at the table settings - of course!!
