"Good Works Ministry's August 1, 2016 Meeting Update"

It was another fine day for the LFBC Good Works Ministry.  There were four of us present at today's session who enjoyed fellowship and needleworking … CO, JP, LB, and MEW.

LB brought some fresh veggies from her garden to share.  Fresh tomatoes, zucchini, lettuce, and fragrant garlic … yum!

CO contributed four items in support of challenges:  an adult’s hat, a young child's hat complete with pompom, and two caps for newborns made with very soft yarn in traditional "baby" colors.  Pics to follow.

JP continued knitting booties … lovely in white.

Persistent LB restarted her lapghan/afghan yet again.  She mastered the pattern and is now well on her way to a “golden” afghan.

MEW was busy getting LB off to a good start on her lapghan/afghan (TBD), so she didn't accomplish much on the throw she’s making for her “Favorite Brother-in-Law.”  She shared a sample pot holder as an example of an item that might fit in well as a Relay for Life 2017 fund raiser.

JP brought instructions for the basic "Afghan Stitch.” She shared a pot holder made in the AS over 30 years ago -- it's still pretty, sturdy, and functional.  To consider:  A square (any size) of fabric made in the Afghan Stitch can serve as a background for counted cross-stitch embellishments.

The next meeting of the group will be held on Monday; August 15, 2016 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM … hope you can join us!
