Hey Sisters, it's time again for our fall Super Saturday. The board has been working hard to bring you some delightful (and simple) projects to pretty up your place (and peoples):) or to give as gifts for the upcoming holidays. Here's the line-up and information:

Thanks to our darling model, Kelsie Bybee. :)

These delightful felt flower hair accessories are accented with a covered button center. They come in a choice of four colors--grey, charcoal, hot pink and cream. We'll have a variety of fabrics to choose from for the center accent and you'll learn to create a covered button. Gift cards (shown above) will be available on Super Saturday for an additional 25 cents.

These beautiful beaded bracelets will be loved by both young and old(er) alike and are simple to create. Really! You'll choose from a wide variety of colors and options to match every outfit and occasion. (Please only order if you will be able to attend Super Saturday and make your bead choices, this project will not be kitted. Thanks.)

{CANDY TINS}

Cost: $2.50 (or just the tins can be purchased for $1)

Well of course we have a project that involves chocolate! These sassy little tins with see-thru window (7 oz. size) are filled with Hershey's Nuggets wrapped in coordinating paper patterns. Add a tag and some ribbon and you've got the perfect little gift for someone special. Three embellishment themes available: Halloween, Christmas and Just Because.

{OWL NOTEBOOK}

Taught by: Jen Ostler and Marina Jensen

Cost: $3.00

Designed by our own Jen Ostler using a darling owl pattern from Martha Stewart, this notebook with a stitched cover has endless possibilities. It's perfect for journaling, note taking, new moms to keep a record of baby's milestones, etc. The fabric and wool pieces are stitched on the osnaburg cover with a simple whip stitch--perfect for beginners. Two versions are available: girly and neutral. 

Supplies: scissors

{PINCUSHIONS}

Taught by: Jen Ostler and Marina Jensen

Cost: $5

Oh my goodness! These stitched pincushions set in a ceramic bowl are so delicious, you might be tempted to eat them up! Amy at our local American Quilting (Orem) designed this project and gave us permission to use the pattern. Thanks, Amy! The wool flowers are attached using a simple whip stitch--great for beginners. This would make a great gift for your favorite seamstress or quilter.

Supplies: scissors
