It’s hard to believe the summer is ending, it seems like we were just having our Tea Party and saying so long to everyone leaving us for the summer months. In just a few days, we’ll be having our first meeting of the season, I look forward to welcoming you back.

Those of us who were here enjoyed some really fun bead soups. In June, we constructed bead wells. These handy little items, inspired by Caroline Streep, were a big hit so we plan on doing it again at a future meeting. In July, we were so lucky to welcome Marjorie Garcia Barnes, who generously held a bead embroidery workshop, and in August, we demonstrated cubic right angle weave. We’ve also been working on our summer challenge, I can’t wait to see your projects. Wow, it’s been busy at the Bead Society!!

Over the summer, our board has been planning some exciting events for the coming months. We’ll be having trunk shows, a member appreciation workshop with Leslie Venturoso, guest teachers, new projects and some really great surprises.

I’m looking forward to seeing you again.
