February 2009 Highlights

Peggy Reynolds presented a program on Hardanger Embroidery. She shared that one time when she was on vacation, she and her family had stopped in Lindsborg, KS. Lindsborg is also known as 'Little Sweden' - it's a Swedish settlement and the people in the town have worked to maintain it's heritage. Peggy went into a craft shop and discovered a section of needle craft books on Hardanger Embroidery. She was very intriuged by it and decided to give it a try. The program was enjoyed by all. Peggy does beautiful work and did a great job describing the process of Hardanger Embroidery.
