Ocean Park Fiber Artists

I do love my Saturday afternoon yarny group in Santa Monica. We call ourselves the Ocean Park Fiber Artists. We meet at The Coffee Bean on Ocean Park Boulevard and 31st. Street in the Santa Monica Business Park. This business park, built in 1978, was the former site of Douglas Aircraft. The Aircraft plant was next to Santa Monica's little airport, Clover Field, which still operates to this day. There are plans to close Clover Field in the near future. At one time, especially during World War II, Douglas was the largest employer in the City of Santa Monica. Many of the little bungalows and houses in the area were built for aircraft factory workers.

We had a nice yarny group this past Saturday. I took a few photos of everyone's work in progress.

Lisa brought this FANTASTIC music stand case for me. She's been sewing a lot lately! Thank you, Lisa!

Sherry crocheted the body of this Belle Epoque shawl and I crocheted the border

There were many members absent on Saturday, but it is Spring vacation. I always look forward to hangin' with my Santa Monica peeps! Thanks for a fun afternoon.
