January Club

Sorry it has taken me so long to get this month's club up, my poor kids can not seem to stay healthy. We had this month's club on our new day, the first Saturday of the month, and we had a great turnout.

We are starting with Show n' tell

 Pat made this fun zoo to hang in a door way for her grandson

 with changeable headers

  Kathi made a self binding blanket using giraffe fabric she had and found a matching design from Embroidery Library

 Shelley made this freestanding lace angel from mountain thread art (which has now closed their site)

 She won a ribbon for her U of U patches that she made for work

 And she made this toy for her dog

 She also digitized and made these towels

 This is a mylar design that she digitized

 also this candy holder to use for valentines day

 Carol made lots of  freestanding lace ornaments

 And this darling reusable coloring book from Charming Station which comes in 2 sizes

 Gwen made this bunny

 and these hand warmers which are from Charming station, she got just the pattern with no designs and put her own design on them.

these are kid size ones she made

 Lydia showed us her newest pony

 Barbara made the nativity tealight covers from  Embroidery Garden

 Alice made a stocking for her grandson

 and this wall hanging that was a mystery project from San Francisco Stitch Co.

 I made and shared these ITH cord wraps from  Designs By Sick, that come in two different sizes. They have several different types already made, I needed a kindle one so I added my own letters.

Now onto Jan and Terrie's fun stuff
