Calling all Embroiderers
Our guild supports the Cornerstone Lutheran Comfort Dog, Magdalene, by creating scarves that attach to her special collar.
Many people are willing to sew simple scarves; however, they do not have the equipment needed to embroider the front of the scarf.
Can you help?
You can either do the embroidery on a piece of 18.5″ x 12” fabric of your own selection (storeroom fabrics are OK for this) OR pick up one of the kits near the membership table at the next meeting. You don’t have to finish
In May we will welcome Lisa Dodson, from Martinsville. The presentation topic is Fiber Art Creativity. Lisa is a talented artist who utilizes various materials and methods, such as pigments, dyes, paints and papers in her art quilts. Lisa will be providing a trunk show of her art quilts. Might be a great way to get some ideas for ‘Being your own designer!’ (our guild’s challenge quilt theme).
The weather is turning summery, and it appears that May will be a promising month. May goes SOOO fast: the Indy 500, graduations, Mother’s Day, school’s out, end-of-year performances, recitals, the list goes on. I have not spent much time at my machine lately. I have been altering and embellishing costumes throughout April for an upcoming ballet performance of Beauty and the Beast for my granddaughter’s dance company. My hands are feeling it!

Theme for the Challenge Quilt 2025 is ‘Be your Own Designer’ – following the Facebook ‘get to know you question’ in January – Who is your favorite Designer?
Magdalene is the Comfort Dog of the Cornerstone Lutheran Church.
