There were 12 of us at Saddlebrook today, including 3 who came in for only part of the afternoon. In addition to the 5” squares I promised, I brought 3 large bags of scraps and several small boxes of new fabric donations.
As a reminder, we only have one more meeting at Saddlebrook on 4/23. There will be no meeting on 4/16 or 4/30. We will be back at El Santiago in May.
Show and Tell:
Diane Placek came with several zipper bags that she made.
Mic Pickard took an orphan panel a while back and today showed how she turned it into a lovely tote bag.
Eileen DiSanto showed a cat she cut, waiting to be stuffed.
Louise Stem turned in 6 pillowcases.
Carolyn Grasso made a couple of tea bag holders and showed a started crochet project of a Stitch doll.
Mary Ellen Boutin stopped in briefly and dropped off some zipper bags she made..
After show and tell, I did a quick demo of how to make a
draw string backpack, using 24 five inch squares and a lining fabric. Several ladies selected squares to take home
and make the outside panels of backpacks.
The instructions are attached to my email.
Several ladies sorted through the new fabric donation. There were several panels found, which I put
aside. I filled 3 dog beds from the bags of scraps. Mic and Candy took over with the remaining
bag of scraps.
No meeting next week.
I will see you all the following week.
