Fall Welcomes Back the Sew-N-Sews!

Peggy Abney

As the Arizona heat begins to mellow and our beloved snowbirds return, the Sew-N-Sews sewing club is back in full swing! Our first meeting of the season on Sept. 10 was a lively reunion, with a fantastic turnout and plenty of laughter, creativity, and inspiration.

To kick off the season, members participated in a delightful Show and Tell, showcasing the beautiful projects they completed during the summer break. From intricate quilts to stylish rugs and wall hangings, the talent on display was nothing short of impressive.

Guest Spotlight: Sharon Gale

We were thrilled to welcome guest speaker Sharon Gale who captivated the audience with her presentation on silk scarf painting and fabric dyeing. Sharon shared her creative process and demonstrated a variety of techniques she uses to craft her stunning scarves. Her designs sparked admiration, and more than a few attendees left with a wearable piece of art!

What’s Ahead this Season?

The Sew-N-Sews are diving into a season packed with exciting guest speakers, hands-on classes, and special interest groups focused on quilting, garment making, and other sewing arts. Our annual workshops and retreats promise plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
