TEMARI BALLS

AS PROMISED, HERE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL TEMARI BALLS MADE BY ONE OF OUR MANY TALENTED MEMBERS:

This reminds me of Autumn....

Elegant....

This one makes me think of rainbows...

I love the soft colors...

This one has drama...

A little bit of sparkle makes a big difference!

Christmas will be here before we know it!

This one is so interesting to look at....

Minis...so cute!

Do you see the Goldfish?

....and the Heart?  I love Temari!

Milwaukee Area Chapter of the Smocking Arts Guild

July Program

In our program, we learned about "circle smocking".  Here is an example of the technique which was shared by our "teacher for the night".  Below is another view of this beautiful covered box.

One of our members made these delicate examples of bobbin lace.  Amazing!

This precious Wee Care gown was submitted for St. Joseph's Neonatal Unit.

See the sweet detail that the smocking adds!

A member sewed up this cute purse.

Plastic adds a hip touch to it.  Who doesn't know a little girl who would love this!

This is our American Beauty raffle basket that was sent to Chicago for the Smock Across America event.

We also submitted the Gingham and Stripes Forever raffle basket.

"Check in" later this week to see an impressive collection of Temari balls made by one of our talented members.  Hopefully she will do a program in 2016 for our group!
