Tue, 18 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT

We will share what we learned in the classes at Retreat and also have show and tell.

Since our next project is an embroidered chicken, it is only fitting that we meet at Barb's roost, because we all know that she is the Queen of chickens. Come visit Barb’s collection, many of which she has created.

Our pattern is from Inspiration magazine #129. Chickens come in many colors and sizes, so select your own color scheme and size. The original is a door stop, but we will offer an easy option to enlarge it into a tea cozy. We will discuss materials and pattern at this meeting. So, if you have never tried embroidery on wool, don't chicken out. Try something new!

She draws inspiration in all sorts of places, from the world around her at home to the places she travels. Her camera roll is filled with pictures of sunrises and sunset, flowers, trees full of buds, leaves, and bare branches, brick walls, stained glass, tiles, carpets, and architectural details big and small.
