Debbie and Ella are having SEW much fun:
Discussion about the upcoming Faces Workshop on Mar. 13th. DeeDee and Joy sent out instructions and patterns for getting started. Please print out the facial features that you would like to use in your composition. Doing so prior to next week's workshop will help the class time be a more valuable experience.

Editor's Note...
I'm happy to have Deborah back from the beach!!! Her collaborative effort (providing meeting notes) makes our blog posts SEW much richer and more detailed than one person could express doing both jobs at once.
To add to the Faces idea....
