Presented by: Cece from The Thread Gatherer, Boise ID
Beautiful colors and quality fibers make it possible to stitch "Reminders of Gentler Times in hand-dyed Threads Nd Ribbons" and this has become our mission statement. 

Required Book: Creative Stitching by Sue Spargo. This is required for the workshop and it is a great reference book to have in your library. Books can be shared for those that don't have one.

Kit: Includes hand dyed wool for practicing stitches using The Thread Gatherer specialty threads of Sea Grass, Silken Pearl, Silk Chenille and Ribbons. These will not be full skeins. The class project would be expected to be completed after class.

There will be door prizes and additional items for purchase. This is a great opportunity to purchase those hard to find specialty threads at a great price.

On November 9,  Eileen came and talked about bindings. She had great ideas and tips for putting on the perfect binding. Who knew there was so much to learn about bindings. :0}
