Just itiching to try (EDIT)

     Last night at our senior club (Fab 50′) meeting, our program was put on by a member who is a retired art teacher and very talented water colorist.  She showed us some of her work and talked about things like technique, paper and brushes.  She had asked people to bring in something they had made so we could appreciate other’s talents as well.  There was hand work (needlepoint, embroidery, knitting, etc.), literary work,  jewelry (glass, silver, bead work) and a couple of pieces of very nice sculpture.  Needless to say, I loved every single piece there and have tried most of these arts and crafts at one time or another.  Time to get back to something useful….where shall I start?

EDIT*  I’ve been ask what did I took for show & tell.   Due to my recent down-sizing project, I didn’t seem to have much left around here that I made.  All those dozens of baby afghans…  thought I had a couple still here, but if I do, they are in the storage locker.  The rest have gone to wrap up little babies.  Paintings?  There are a couple still here, but I wasn’t about to show them along side Phyllis’s.  I finally found a table cloth that I embroidered back in 1975 while recovering from hip surgery.  That’s what I took.
