The guild will provide:

•    All of the wool fabric that is required to make the bird, flower, leaves and stem
•    Thread for the wool appliqué
•     Needle
•     Pattern
•     Instructions

YOU WILL  NEED TO PROVIDE:

•           2 fat quarter sized home spuns or 2 other fabrics that coordinate.  One for the outside and one for the lining
•           ¾ of a yard of fusible interfacing.  Fran uses Pelion Craft Fuse that she gets at Hobby Lobby or you can use any fairly stiff fusible
•           8 x 8” piece of Freezer paper

I will provide lunch.  YEAH

We will also need a couple of sewing machines if you get to the point that you can finish your project.  Everyone does not have to bring their machine unless you just want to.  But please leave it in the car or bring it in a set it in the back until we get to that point because we will not have the room.  I am bringing my machine and I do NOT mind it someone uses it.

We also need some ironing boards and irons AND A FEW CUTTING BOARDS.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN BRING THESE ITEMS.  I think we could use 4 or 5.
