July Guild Meeting: Antique Needlework with the Pizza Girls

Back by Popular Demand

The Pizza Girls got their name from the way they package their fabrics. Their specialty is making kits, coordinating fabrics for maximum impact for each project and then packaging them to look like pizzas.

In this Show & Tell Cindy and Patti will present Antique Needlework. They have collected antique needlework for a long time. We will get to look at and touch samples from the 1800s, including lots of white work/Ayshire samples.

The discussion will be the history of cotton manufacturing and fashion trends from the late 1700s to World War I. If you stitch at all, you will appreciate the work in these samples.

Cindy and Patti will also bring fabric collections, patterns, rulers, and kits to sell after the Show & Tell.

The lunch bunch is going to West First at 101 First Ave. W. (sign up at Guild Mtg)
