Our "Winter Woolies" Tree at the Festival of Trees

The Festival of Trees was during the Thanksgiving weekend. Tuesday night a few guild members decorated our tree for the event and it came out beautiful! Here are a few photos of our tree with some of the beautiful ornaments we created!

Friday, around 12:30, guild member Gloria was on stage when they announced the winners. Unfortunately, we didn't win a ribbon and we are not exactly sure how they judge the winners, but our tree came out wonderful and is a winner to us! Proceeds for all donated trees benefit United Cerebral Palsy.


LIKCG'S WINTER WOOLIES
Here's our tree topper with some novelty eyelash yarn, with needles sticking out and five larger sweaters (that wouldn't fit into the ornaments) spelling out the word P-E-A-C-E.



Here's some of our ornaments. It was difficult to take pictures of all the ornaments and the tree. Our tree was in a grouping with two other trees.



Gingerbread Man Ornament










Here's a cute ornament with just a ball of yarn and toothpicks sticking out as needles.

Festival of Trees

Hoped everyone enjoyed the mini holiday break and the black Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Cyber Monday, {etc., etc.,} sales!
If you didn't get an opportunity to go to the Festival of Trees at the Cradle of
Aviation, here's a few photos of trees that received ribbons.

Thursday, September 8, 2011

Hello everyone! Just a little reminder that we are having Jack of Lion Brand Yarn as our guest this month. We haven't seen him in a while and are very excited for his return. In the past, he's brought samples of new and current yarns and explained how some of the yarn is manufactured. Please come a little early so you may find a seat. We'd like to start the meeting as soon as we can so he can go through his presentation. Afterwards, we'll have show and tell.

See you on Thursday!

Angela.

August Guild Meeting....

JUST A REMINDER about the AUGUST MEETING:

To our newest members, guests, and friends,

On August 11, 2011, we have our annual charity dinner at a local restaurant, so there is no regular scheduled meeting at the clubhouse in August.
