There were 11 of us at today’s meeting. We are still waiting to get some of our tables back. The staff still doesn’t know when the cabinet work will be done..
Yesterday I forwarded an email from Villagers for Veterans, regarding a WWII veteran living alone. I’ve had 2 responses from people who may be able to visit.
We had some discussion regarding our fall sale fundraising. As I have mentioned before, I don’t feel I can handle participation in one of the October craft sales anymore. The main purpose of this has been to give a monetary gift to a few of our charities for the holidays. There were several options discussed. I will compose a separate email explaining this and asking for a vote.
Show and Tell: (https://sewingn-more.blogspot.com/)
Louise Stem made 2 more pillowcases.
Bev Minnerly made 2 pillowcases and showed some toys from B.J. Herter.
Ceal Pedersen worked hard last week. She made 8 Kennel Quilts and painted the faces on 53 stuffed toys. (Ellen is going to drop them off at the hospital tomorrow.)
Shirley Fiorentino made some animals.
Ellen Hein showed 3 finished quilts.
Janet Murtaugh handed this one in.
and one quilt top.
Pat Pipa and I must have been on the same wavelength last week. We each made 2 drawstring backpacks. I have written an instruction for these and it is attached to my email.
We also participated in a class at Allamanda to decorate “charger plates”. Pat chose the” Home Sweet Home” pattern and I chose the “initial” pattern. For those unfamiliar with charger plates (which included me until a few weeks ago), a charger plate is a plate that is placed under the plate that you eat on. You don’t put any food on it, it is purely decorative and part of elegant meals.
I am working on a sample walker bag, made with squares, and plan to show it next week.
Hope to see you next week.
Lois
