Our own Jan Delghausen treated members to an enjoyable demonstration of the creation of beautiful Christmas ball decorations for our trees, tables, mantels, centerpieces for our tables or wreaths. Everyone took part choosing fabric, applying it & creating their own style, a memento to last of an SSQG evening to remember. Thank you, Jan for preparing & sharing your technique with each of us. We are ready to make many more for ourselves, friends & family.
