SAGA Trunk Show 2011

On Tuesday, April 26, a few Ozark Foothills members met to work on isolette covers and blankets for our Wee Care project. We had sergers humming and completed about 20 items.

Afterward, we had a luscious potluck dinner (with plenty of coconut cream pie) and enjoyed viewing the beautiful items sent in this year's SAGA Trunk Show.
For those of you who could not join us, check this website for photos of the trunk show beauties.

Our May meeting will be held at Rabbit's Lair in Rogers for a demo of new sewing notions.

Stitchin' in the Foothills XIII


Members of the Ozark Foothills chapter welcomed Wendy Schoen of New Orleans to Stitchin' in the Foothills XIII on April 7-9, 2011. We began with a wonderful potluck at the lovely home of Carol Kick where we got to meet and greet Wendy and our out of state and out of town guests. This year we had class attendees from South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas as well as our local members here in Arkansas.
Friday morning, we set up class at the Jones Center for Families, and started learning beautiful embroidery stitches for Wendy's little hand embroidered dress called Baby Bliss.
Spring Street Grill had wonderful lunches for us which included orange rolls and their delectable homemade pies each day, then it was back to JCF for more stitching.
The group dined together at a local restaurant Friday night, then rested up for our final day of stitching on Saturday.
There were lots of exciting door prizes and raffle baskets and everyone left tired and happy.
Thanks, Wendy, for a wonderful class. Thanks to our guests for being part of our sewing workshop, and thanks to OFC members for all your hard work putting together a great weekend of sewing.
