Note: If you missed the January meeting/signup date, you may receive a PDF copy of the instructions by emailing PointToPointANG@gmail.com.
In 1986, Point to Point sponsored the ANG seminar in Newport Beach. Each stitcher was given a basket and the seminar teachers designed motifs for a basket band, reminiscent of California. The January meeting will include 2 motifs and the title motif with all instructions. There will only be a $10.00 charge for mailing if requested, otherwise this is a no cost program. Other motifs will follow during the remaining months of 2026. Sign up anytime in 2026.
The band can go around a tray or be used as a purse strap, or you can use the individual motifs for ornaments, tags, coasters, bag charms, etc.
Motifs include: CA Sunset, Winery, 19th Hole (golf), Disneyland, Mexican food, road to the mountain, ocean view, mission bell, Hollywood sign, oranges and orange grove.
The largest motif on 18 ct. is 2.7”h x 3.2”w and on 13 ct. it is 3.76”h x 4.5”w. For basket band -18 ct., cut canvas 5 1/2” wide. If the length of your basket is more than 40”, you may need to make two joining seams, add 2-3 inches for length.
