ABC Crochet is a group of friends who started getting together at our workplace to Crochet together. Originally, we all worked with children, but we have expanded and now we are made up of crossing guards, paraprofessionals, accountants, retirees, and others. ABC Crochet Club meets almost every Thursday, and we participate in a few local craft shows. We have also won awards for our group projects that we have entered at the CA Mid-State Fair.
Demonstrating alongside the Club today will be a Mid-State Fair award-winning entrant, Robin Scovell. Stop by to watch these talented ladies as they show off their craft!
J & L Simple Bead Jewelry by Jada Preston. “I picked up beading from my grandma who was big on seed bead art. It took me some time to really get into crafts, but I have been hooked since the first pair of earrings I made. I mainly use larger beads and charms to make all kinds of jewelry but will sit down and do my seed bead work when the inspiration hits.”
Local Templeton girl, Skye McLennan is the creative force behind Wombat Wares, captivating jewelry brand known for its quirky and imaginative designs. Skye crafts pieces that blend craftsmanship and nostalgia. Skye uses a mixture of Barbie shoes, found toys, clay and resin to create one-of-a-kind earrings!
