May Show and Share

The Milwaukee Chapter of SAGA met in May, and enjoyed viewing, discussing and being inspired by the gowns included in the National Smocking Arts Guild traveling Wee Care trunk show.  There were so many gowns that gave us ideas for creating future gowns for donation to hospitals here in the Milwaukee area.  Expect to see some of these creations in the coming months!

In addition, several members brought in their own creations, recent and from the past, as well as other creative inspirations.  Enjoy!

A member made this blue smocked Wee Care gown.

The smocked detail is so well done!

A member made this wool baby blanket and bear a while back.

The embroidered bear is just so precious!

....And the detail of puffed embroidery is definitely something that I hope to learn how to do.  It is so sweet!

In the spirit of "Frozen", a member made this "Ana" dress for her niece....how elegant!

One of our members made this amazing quilt.  I am so impressed at what she accomplished!

A member brought in this cute leaf fairy embellished with embroidery.

See the details close-up.  More inspiration for unique gifts from the heart!  I just love how whimsical she is!
