Daughters of Norway to celebrate soup and sweaters

RAINBOW – The Daughters of Norway Hulda Garborg Lodge #49 is holding its annual Soup and Sweaters meeting on Saturday, Feb. 14. All members are encouraged to wear their Scandinavian-inspired sweaters to this special meeting. Various varieties of soup made by members, along with bread, salads and desserts will be provided.

Member Julie Watts will be leading a class on making Scandinavian dolls. She will teach how to dress a seven-inch doll with pre-cut fabric to represent an everyday folk costume from Norway, Sweden, or Denmark during the 1800s. No sewing experience is needed. All materials will be supplied, but attendees are asked to bring scissors. This program will begin at 11 a.m., followed by the “Soup Lunch” at noon. There will be a business meeting at 12:45 p.m.

All women of Scandinavian heritage are welcome to attend the Daughters of Norway meetings held the second Saturday of each month. This month’s meeting will be held at Norway Hall, 2006 E.
