We had a great time at our October meeting learning all about Resist Dyeing. Jody & Teresa showed us many different ways to dye fabric using the resist techniques from Shibori, Ice Dyeing, Wax reliefs and others. Jody showed how using a rusty slinky created a beautiful pattern. The rust from the slinky left subtle gold patterns throughout the cloth. Teresa showed us that simple stamps can create a beautiful pattern on the fabric. They had so many other simple tools that are used to create beautiful patterns.

Community Service and Fifth Thursday Sewing for 2024
We had a great time at our final 5th Thursday sew. We made 66 placemats. Great job!! This brings a total so far to 107 placemats. Our goal is 250 placemats to be able to donate to Meals of Wheels. If everyone would make (3) more by our December meeting, we can make the goal? Bonnie will be taking the mats to Meals on Wheels on the 13th. This was our last 5th Thursday sew for the year. We will start back in the new year.
Check out our Community Service Page under Guild News to see what we are sewing for our community. Please continue to bring any finished service projects to our next guild meeting. Thank you.
