Sewing Inspired Centerpieces

Today's post is a little different as I am highlight the work of other crafty folks.  My fellow American Sewing Guild members, to be exact.  Several weeks ago our ASG Chapter held our annual Spring Fling, a lovely luncheon with time to socialize with like-minded gals, see what people have been sewing and add to our stashes through a silent auction.  This year, as in the past, each Neighborhood Group was asked to make and donate a centerpiece for the event.  The following pictures are of the various contributions. 

A large variety was represented.  Some groups dug into their button boxes and stashes, creating flowers.  Others combined various notions into a bouquet of sorts.

Many of the centerpieces included new sewing items such as thread, fabric, patterns and other notions.

Other groups put their talent to work and created something that represented the theme of the group (such as machine embroidered designs from our Hoopsters group and a finely dressed doll from the Couture group).  By the way, these lovelies were all given away as door prizes to some lucky winners.

When my group was preparing to create our own centerpiece, one of the members noted that she had done a Google search for sewing inspired centerpieces and came up completely empty handed.  I, too, did several searches along this theme and also found nothing.  So my hope is that, in the future, when some other sewing group is looking for inspiration, they will come across this post with lots of fun ideas.  I hope you enjoyed seeing just how creative our Chapter can be.

Thanks, Julie! I really liked looking at the different interpretations from each group. Again, thanks for doing the arranging and fixing for our group...:)
