Back to real life!

I just returned home after attending

Women's Conference, put on by my

Church at Brigham Young University

(in Provo, Utah)

It was 2 days of wonderful classes,

visiting with family and friends and

doing Service for others.

The Conference always has

Take-Make-Return service projects

available during the two days of classes.

You take a kit, make it while there,

then return it by the 2nd day.

This year they had 3 hand sewing

and one crochet project. I choose

the crochet project, just because it

was the first table I came too.

I crocheted around the edges of a baby

bib. The kit was in a plastic bag with

instructions, the bib all prepped with

holes, the yarn and a crochet hook. It

took me about half and hour to finish..

My niece did two of the hand sewing

projects. The first was sewing the

side of a wheel chair bag (blanket stitch)

and adding a yoyo flower to a pocket of

the bag. The second was sewing on an

appliqued star (with a running stitch)

onto a child's courage cape,

The last  sewing project was called

Monster tags. The ladies sewed on crazy

eyes and mouths to the circular faces

of little monster heads.

Today, my slow stitch Sunday

project will be work on an

embroidery quilt block for a

year long quilt I am finishing from 2009.

What are you working on?
