Program:
Judy will teach Introduction to Italian Smocking.  Please bring your favorite smocking needle, a skein of white DMC floss (either the regular white or the new bright white), small scissors to cut the floss, and a measuring tape. Also bring the Australian Smocking and Embroidery Issue 58, if you have it.  It has smocked pillow cases using the Italian smocking that she will teach.  She will supply the pleated fabric and directions.
