News of the day (Tues. September 3, 2013): Prabha is back! Gone all summer, traipsing across the USA in her second home, she collected photos and stories to share. Her cross country adventures were not all good, but she smiled as she shared them with the group. Beyond the incredible parks, each one more spectacular than the last, the highlights of her trip with her husband were the interesting new friends they made and the renewed friendships with old friends. She brought several interesting books to share - basketry and quillwork. Her stories developed into a discussion concerning the continuing saga of American Indian communities.
As soft jazz filter through the room, making lace was the main focus of the day's work with very little other news. Show and tell included Kris' "Suzette Victoria" who is ready to join the other members of her nativity scene and the crazy hedgehog hat. After washing and drying it really does look more like an anemone hat which is what it is according to the pattern.
There were a few tidbits and questions of the day to share:
What's the difference between taffy and toffee?
answer: taffy is pulled and soft while toffee is boiled and hard.
AURAFIL is the sewing thread (size 28) that Betsy uses for making lace and it's beautiful.
Who has entered work at the State Fair? When is it, actually?
OIDFA covers are the same for each yearly issue.
Allergy season is in full bloom for some people.
What is "chenopod"?
answer: another cause of allergies! This is used to represent a whole slew of plant families - including amaranth and pigweed, lamb's quarters and russian thistle.

What grain is used to make "Rajgira Chikki"?
answer: rajgira, the royal grain, used in making "Amaranthe Naugatine" which Prabha brought as a treat.
As a parting note, lost notes reappeared with two noteworthy bits:
"New jewelry calls for new clothes!" (Carolyn said regarding Bev's gorgeous work.)
Why do we experience reoccurring dreams now, at our age, about High School situations/stress?
