The summer picnic is always a great meeting because we get to sample some of everyone's excellent cooking! If you go away hungry, it's your own fault! (personally I can never eat dinner later in the day because I'm still full!)
This July we had a special treat to enjoy as the Brown Bag challenge projects were revealed! In the bag this time were:
A piece of black and gold print fabric
A piece of a suede clothe type fabric
a wine cork
a length of gold cord
a tassel
some metal washers
a bit of ribbon with beads attached
a piece of chocolate (the wrapper was for the project if desired.)
A dryer sheet
a coffee filter
2 mini clothespins
Except for the fabrics, you could choose to leave out 2 items
Two clues to help with the process.
#1 Use an unusual fabric
#2 Add a straight line.
Here is what the members who answered the challenge accomplished!
