Donna gave a great demo on how to make the beautiful folded fabric wreath. I'm working on mine and I hope to see some more come back for show and tell next week.
I brought a bin full of donated fabric that looked good for pillow cases and about half of it went out. I'm looking forward to seeing the pillowcases come back.
I announced that Operation Home Bound has enough patriotic place mats but would like contributions of Christmas themed place mats. If anyone wants to make these I will get them to the coordinator.
Show and Tell:
Bev Minnerly showed her thread catcher and 2 backpacks she made for the foster kids.
Mary Nazgiewicz was stuck at home while new flooring was being installed, so she spent a full day in her sewing room. The result was a great animal blanket, a ducky blanket for her soon to be grandchild, a pile of doggy bed sleeves, and a fidget quilt.
Lu Karatzas showed her finished thread catcher.
Jane Swafford made 2 pillow cases for Case for Smiles.
Audrey Philips made 4 pillowcases for Case for Smiles.
Carol Riggs showed a snowman project she will demo the week after Thanksgiving.
Donna Rissman made 2 pillow cases for Case for Smiles and finished a Cornerstone Hospice Veterans quilt.
She then showed a project she found at a quilt shop in Hudson, Fl - Quilt Til You Wilt, Donna will demo this project later in the year. She is also trying to get a group of people together for a road trip to this shop on Monday, May 22nd. It's a unique shop, well worth the visit. If you are interested, contact Donna.
This week I finished another thread catcher bag and a small purse kit. I also finished a quilt for one of the veterans in a disabled veterans group who are coming to the Villages this month.
Kim Hart worked on a fidget quilt this afternoon and handed it in before we left.
**********************************
Next week is general charity sewing week. I will be bringing in as many of the supply boxes as I can for fidget quilts, dog beds, back packs, walker bags, and charity quilts.
The following week we will have a specialty charity week, dedicated to pillowcases. Anyone who owns a serger should bring that machine in. Those who have regular sewing machines can sew the pillowcase cuffs and then the pillow cases can be completed on the sergers. By working assembly line we hope to get a bunch of these done for Case for Smiles.
See you all next week
