This week I received a wonderful package from Marg L that she sent out to everyone in our group.  In this package were some supplies for making little flowers.  It was a terrific surprise to open my mailbox and see this envelope.  I raced into the house and opened it right away!  I haven't had a chance to start my flowers but Pat M. did hers and sent in this photo.
Here is her description of the photo:

"This is a photo of the chair and foot stool that I recovered for the shabby chic house.  The flowers are from our "kit" that Marg sent out. I found the water jug pattern on Pinterest. I used moss for leaves, collected from the cottage this summer."

The chair, ottoman, water jug and flowers look great Pat!  What have you done with your flowers?  Send me some photos and I can put them up here.

Missing all of you, hope to see everyone soon...

Miniature making encompasses so many real life crafts and ideas that we can never really get bored with miniatures.  Last week, Pat M contacted me with a photo of a pillow that she saw and wanted to stitch.  She asked for some help making a pattern for the little pillow.  I got to work with my stitch program and came up with a chart for her to use.  Below is Pat's pillow stitched for miniature on 22 count canvas using the pattern I developed for her, with some modifications of her own.  Wonderful work Pat.  I like your pink flower better than the one I charted!
​So many of our regular crafts can be translated into miniature - woodworking, crochet, knitting, pottery making, weaving and tapestry, sewing, quilt making... the list is endless.  What crafts do you like to do that you have translated into miniature?

Pat M sent in these photos of a wonderful little 1/12th scale mini lace pillow and lace that she made this summer. Aren't they fabulous!?  Do you have any projects you would like to show all of us?  I would be happy to post them here and we would love to hear from you.  Hope you are all keeping well and are keeping busy during these times.  Our meetings are suspended until further notice as the church where we usually have them are not be allowing groups in just yet.
