Hi everyone,
A big thank you to everyone who came out to see Donna Andrews-Maness. If you missed the event, you can visit her web page at Swinglanestudio.com .

For our next meeting, we'll be working further with the Herringbone Stitch. People already familiar with Herringbone stitch will be working on a Colorful Herringbone Chain. You'll get a chance to expand your skills and also play with color and texture. Please read the attachment carefully and look at the inspiration picture.
If you are not already familiar with Herringbone, please come to the meeting, you'll get a chance to learn.

Supply List for Colorful Herringbone Chain
11/o beads for the chain in 4-5 colors (see below for color suggestions)
8/o and 6/o beads in the same and/or harmonizing colors as your 11/o’s .
Any other round, triangle, hex, cube, etc beads that will be in a size similar to the 8/o’s and 6/o’s and be in the same harmonizing colors as the 11/o’s.
CAUTION: Do not use crystals.You may use some shiny beads in a limited amount, but your colors will be more striking if the majority of the beads have more color than shine. A metallic or two may work with your color schemes. Mostly though you will be using colors in opaques, transparents, color-lined, etc. Check out the picture for ideas.
You only need 6 beads for a round so when you are collecting beads, if you have 6 of anything that harmonizes put it in the pile.
Again, please read the attachment. Don't forget to bring needles, scissors, mat, supplemental light and an extension cord.
