CLASS and TRUNK Show

We welcomed Susan Gonzales and her daughter Jody of Susan Gonzales Designs for a candy cane class.    There were so EZ PZ that everyone who participated was able to complete all three candy canes in a half hour.  It was a good thing they had extra kits as some who had not signed up wanted to get in on the fun.   Sue and Jody were excellent teachers.   They brought a small trunk show and we enjoyed shopping!   We enjoyed the class with them and look forward to having them back maybe as early as sometime in 2020.

Sue ad Jody set up a very lovely display.

The color and quality of the wools they work with is second to none.

 Several of us signed up for the December Poinsettia Class

Look at the adorable candy canes we made.    Sue must have spent hours prepping our kits.   They were thoughtfully put together and it was easy for everyone to complete the class.

Sorry for the delay in posting the November meeting.   Between home renovs, travel, babysitting and the holidays it got lost in the mix.  Mea culpa.
