Kim and Jackie are planning a craft project for us. Here is what will be needed:
Supplies:
1 or 2 pair of fuzzy spa socks (picture as an example) prefer pastel colors and prints okay.
These can be found at Michaels for $2.00 a pair. (I called to verify they had them)
Optional, if you have these:
Fancy edge scissors - scallops, wavy, etc.
1/4 inch satin or grosgrain ribbon
hot glue gun & Elmers glue stick
We will bring the rest!
Thanks,
Kim & Jackie
Be sure to read the article by Candace Brown in the October 31, 2010 issue of the University Place Patch about the Guild! "Quilters Share Comfort, Caring, Beauty and Love" - "Members of Quilters by the Bay bring the warmth of compassion to University Place and beyond." Ms. Brown says, "Quilting IS art and a perfect subject for my 'Patching into UP Arts' column. Many thanks to all of you for your help with information and photos and congratulations on your beautiful quilts."
