One of the fun things about the Gathering is that each day they have a make-it take-it project. They are always reasonably priced and fun to do. This year Suzette Krummel of White Pine Folk Art provided the kits. They were all packaged so cute with a pine cone attached. I can’t imagine the time she had invested in this. Each one was a wool item. She had scissor holders, needlecase, bookmark, etc. to name a few. The most expensive item was $7. What a deal for a kit to make a needlecase that also included the pattern and packaged so nicely. They would make great gifts for crafting friends! If you are interested give Suzette an email, whitepinefolkart@aol.com

A group of stores called the Corbin Mill Shops put the Gathering on. Included in this group is the Old Mill Stitchery, Corbin Mill Quilt Shop and American Whatever. I love American Whatever. It sells all kinds of folk art items and has a large variety of redware for sale. I love looking through all of it. Sandy Williams who owns is it is a rug hooker and one room is full of wool and linens with marked patterns. It is definitely a feast for the eyes! One of the classes at the Gathering was held by Sandy. I loved looking at all the different marked linens the girls had picked out to hook. One was being done in Autumn colors and was absolutely gorgeous. Tomorrow I will have pictures and story of my first day’s class!
