The September Style Show and New </div> <div> Member Tea honoring those ladies who had joined the </div> <div> guild since January of this year was about to happen.</div> <bR> <div> Our regular meeting room in the recreation center had been </div> <div> transformed into a pink hued banquet hall, the tables were</div> <div> adorned with a floral centerpiece and pink programs topped</div> <div> with the packaged table favors. The serving tables were</div> <div> laden with all sorts of goodies that everyone soon enjoyed.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="0ec8c080.jpg" border=0 width="396" height="264" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The models (in groups of four) disappeared behind the </div> <div> partition wall and emerged one at a time to showcase</div> <div> their creations. In between groups many great door prizes</div> <div> were given away. Marcia Mayes donated some of her</div> <div> trademark totes and Gail Cargile donated some</div> <div> beautiful teacups and saucers....very appropriate for the </div> <div> occasion. There were also some other sewing related </div> <div> prizes brought by Flora Boren. They had been donated</div> <div> by various vendors at seminars she has attended.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0ee7afc0.jpg" border=0 width="378" height="252" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The first of our models was Teresa Beck who wore a round</div> <div> yoke blouse made from fabric she had purchased at </div> <div> Becky Aguilar's store, Heirloom Elegance. The lace detail</div> <div> on the yoke and sleeves was exquisite.</div> <bR> <div> Carolyn Kennedy (Teresa's sister) modeled square neck pink cotton </div> <div> dress she made from the ASG pattern.  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0dbe3450.jpg" border=0 width="227" height="325" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" >Teresa Beck & Carolyn Kennedy </FONT></div> <bR> <div> Next came Flora Boren wearing a white linen skirt, a white</div> <div> blouse with some embroidered interest and topped with</div> <div> a lightweight blue jacket...she had made this ensemble</div> <div> especially to wear to the national conference this summer.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0d001810.jpg" border=0 width="257" height="385" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> Flora Boren </div> <bR> <div> Tammy Conolly wowed us twice, first with an outfit that</div> <div> featured pants made from a beautiful silk fabric purchased</div> <div> in India and a jacket whose lining with a peacock feather</div> <div> design was just as nice as the outside. Then later in the </div> <div> show she modeled an outfit that she wore for her role</div> <div> in the play “Miracle on 34th Street” at the Harbor Playhouse.</div> <bR> <div>  <IMG SRC="0e1b50f0.jpg" border=0 width="181" height="271" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     <IMG SRC="0dfb5100.jpg" border=0 width="181" height="272" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </div> <div>                                 Tammy Conolly </div> <bR> <div> Lupe Contreras wore a two piece outfit that she plans to </div> <div> wear on her travels. After a fitting clinic session and </div> <div> an adjustment on the sleeves for a more flattering fit her</div> <div> outfit was well tailored and casual at the same time. The</div> <div> icing on the cake were the “paisley butterflies” she </div> <div> embroidered on the top near the shoulder area and </div> <div> the hem area of the pants.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0d6d53f0.jpg" border=0 width="213" height="319" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     <IMG SRC="0d9ffaa0.jpg" border=0 width="255" height="170" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>                                         Lupe Contreras</div> <bR> <div> The second group of members included Patty Dunn who</div> <div> wore her own original design. It was a bias cut jacket in a </div> <div> fabulous red fabric that only enhanced the drape and design.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0e711bf0.jpg" border=0 width="273" height="191" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">    Patty Dunn </div> <bR> <div> Stella Garret followed with a jacket and skirt in a </div> <div> reddish/cinnamon color that changed with the light.</div> <div> Ida Hansen was the picture of cool summer casual in </div> <div> her yellow top with a lace collar detail that only </div> <div> added to the “airy-ness” of the blouse.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0c1fd7b0.jpg" border=0 width="253" height="379" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" >Stella Garret</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Ida Hansen was the picture of cool summer casual in </div> <div> her yellow top with a lace collar detail that only </div> <div> added to the “airy-ness” of the blouse.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0cfd33d0.jpg" border=0 width="211" height="317" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Ida Hansen </div> <bR> <div> ViAnn Hermann's creativity was displayed in her jacket</div> <div> which had started life out as a dress then was shortened </div> <div> into a skirt when ViAnn spied it being worn by a fellow</div> <div> church member. ViAnn oohed and aahed over the</div> <div> skirt after the service and a few Sundays later the lady</div> <div> was compelled to give it to ViAnn. She took that </div> <div> skirt and transformed it into a work of art which is </div> <div> what she had coveted to begin with....all around the </div> <div> jacket is a café scene reminiscent of a Renoir or </div> <div> Toulouse-Lautrec painting. The free motion stitching and</div> <div> embellishments on the jacket were the crowning touch.</div> <div> After a short break to allow the next group of models</div> <div> to get ready and some door prize.   </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0bdd7420.jpg" border=0 width="215" height="322" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  ViAnn Hermann</div> <bR> <div> The show resumed with Mary Beth King modeling a black jacket and</div> <div> black pants she made from a pattern that she</div> <div> drafted after taking measurements from one of her</div> <div> favorite pair of ready to wear pants.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0d4e3540.jpg" border=0 width="227" height="340" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> Mary Beth King </div> <bR> <div> Kae Martin came on stage next wearing a pair of wraparound</div> <div> pants from a fabric with a border that she used to advantage.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0dee95e0.jpg" border=0 width="233" height="350" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Kae Martin </div> <bR> <div> Marcia Mayes looked ready for a dressy affair in a striped</div> <div> jacket that had a matching companion handbag...one of </div> <div> Marcia's trademark creations.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0bffe6b0.jpg" border=0 width="254" height="363" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Marcia Mayes </div> <bR> <div> The last group included Carolyn Pence who wore a top made</div> <div> from one of the 2006 ASG Simplicity patterns.

Not knowing beforehand what the jacket</div> <div> looked like, Becky decided to wear a white blouse and some </div> <div> lime green pants she had made with fabric she stocks in</div> <div> her store. As it turns out, one of the colors in the jacket</div> <div> was a very similar green just a shade lighter.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0cbc0140.jpg" border=0 width="192" height="276" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Becky Aguilar</div> <bR> <div> As I close, I want to thank all the models for their participation</div> <div> and especially want to thank Marcia and ViAnn for their</div> <div> efforts in making this a fun and successful event.</div> <bR> <div> Laura Osbun</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
