Afternoon Sewing - June 12, 2012
Although the sun peeped out from the clouds, many of us in the group were just plain tired and so we retired to the library of the International and had a sewing afternoon.  I'm not sure I can remember all the names, but I'll try to recall some of them.  Pam was working on wool applique.  Jo-Anne was working on a stamped embroidery.  Another lady beside Pam was working on wool applique but was using a slightly different technique.  (I'm think I'm going to try wool applique -- You don't have to "finish" the edges.  It's just exactly what I need, another expensive craft!).  My room mate Gail was working on a Celtic reverse applique pattern, similiar to the Hawaiian technique.  Along with a lady who took Bernadette Falvey's class at the quilt show, I was working on a cathedral window.  When Karen joined us later, she showed me another method for the cathedral window.  I'm not sure which one I am going to prefer.  I'm trying both of them for a while.  


All in all, it was an enjoyable crafting afternoon.  I skipped dinner after having a cake at lunch.  Several ladies went out to a dance show.  I knew the next day was going to be a busy one, so I was in bed by 10:00.
