I'm the sort of person who likes to plan for things ahead....waaaaay ahead! So last spring when setting up my table for our church's Mother's Day banquet and I heard about the probable theme for the next banquet, I started that night to think about the possibilities. Then a couple Sundays ago, I spoke to the woman in charge of the banquet and she said she was pretty sure she was going to go with a talent type theme, where she would ask some women to decorate a table according to their talent - baking, scrapbooking, sewing, gardening, knitting, etc. - and that yes, she would give us plenty of notice to do up napkin rings, favors for each place setting and a centerpiece to be raffled off. That got my mind spinning. What could I do? I'm really into embroidery right now more so than cross stitch, yet I also like doing the quick felt projects, like penny rugs, etc. I looked through my ideas file this past weekend and have some thoughts jelling in my mind.
Option 1 - cross stitch/embroidery. Option 2 - cookies. Actually option 2 is easy enough that if the lady in charge needs a second table, I could do that with very little monetary or time outlay. It's option 1 that will take some preparation. With option 1, I think I have my favor and napkin rings figured out; I just need to decide on a raffle item to stitch. Sounds like a good excuse to spend some time going through my stash this week!
