NIC Chapter Meeting

The June Northern Illinois Chapter of the Crochet Guild of America was held today at the Rolling Meadows Library. Seemed to be a lot of business to discuss. A bead crochet workshop is scheduled for Sept 29th. It promises to be interesting and a good learning opportunity. The item to be created is a heart made of small beads. It will be at the Rolling Meadows Library. The meeting was not well attended. Show and Tell was the best part for me. Marge crocheted a beautiful shrug? top? wrap? which she did not like because it did not fit her figure. However, Zee modeled it, and it just plain looked gorgeous. Gwen crocheted a unique zig zag scarf. I showed the Comfort Caps I crocheted, including the one from Addie. Dana crocheted a snazzy beaded bag - sparkling and glittering.
I am working on my heart project, and enjoying every minute of it. It has grown beyond the size of my lap -- and that's big. I now have it laid out on the dining room table so I can work on it. Exciting.
The photographer where I work is coming on Tuesday to take photos of those of us who are working on the Comfort Caps. It will be with a little blurb about the project in the employee newsletter. I am hoping the publicity will generate more Comfort Caps to bring to the American Cancer Society in Evanston.
