A slightly different meeting than planned as our presenter was unable to attend but an interesting and productive meeting.
We have two new members, Linda W. and Shirley P. We will use initials to differentiate them from our members, Linda K. and Shirley W. Welcome both of you.
We talked about the Whispers display at the Armstrong Museum and Art Gallery. It has been beautifully presented by the hanging committee there and shows very well. Joan's piece sold on opening night and we have since sold 3 of the Raising the Surface pieces as well.
In our Challenge this year, Pioneering Women of BC, we have decided that starting in January we would give a small talk about the woman we chose for our inspiration. A sign up sheet has been started and you can contact Christine to be added to the list. These are short introductory talks so more than one can be done in a day.
Shirley W. shared a book called Gumption and Grit, Women of the Cariboo Chilcotin that could be inspirational for our challenge this year.
It had been requested that we have a few more sign ups for the Toolbox Tuesdays and a few more spots have been filled.

Linda K. has been knitting again and Linda W. had a picture of a quilt she had made with houses on it.
Bev started on a quilt for her daughter with leaves and birds as a result of attending the Quick Curve ruler class. She also made a beautiful table runner.
Shirley W. brought in a purse she made with a thread painted flower on it and some blue stars that she made using Heat & Bond instead of miles of satin stitch so there is no fraying.
Shirley P. showed a wall hanging she made to depict new grass growth. Amazing work!
Elisabeth tried our the feathers from last month as well and brought along some of the postcards she made.

Christine also made feathers.
The activity today was taken from a lesson in the Sketchbook Revival 2024 workshops some of us participated in this year.
Sandie demonstrated how to make a Modern Collage Bouquet by Lucie Duclos. You can see more of Lucie's samples on her website www.duclosdesign.com.
Our tables were covered with collage papers, stamps, pens, glue sticks, scissors and there are photos of some of our efforts. A fun twist on fibre art!
