We had a great turnout today and Kathy Jones gave a terrific explanation of how to turn a plain sweatshirt into a cute jacket, personalized to your taste.I understand that it has been difficult to find sweatshirts in the area thrift shops. I did a web search and found that you can get a new sweatshirt in whatever size and color you want direct from Hanes for $7.99 (http://www.hanes.com/). However, shipping is also $7.99, so this is only a good deal if you are buying more than just the one sweatshirt. I've also seen them on Amazon for as low as $5.49 and PRIME, so this is even better.
Two announcements this week.
Carol Riggs said the tickets for the Bingo events to benefit the Humane Society of Marion County and the Christian Food Pantry is sold out for July and August, but she may be able to get tickets if anyone is interested for October. She will try to get group tickets or you can reserve your own by contacting Joan at 751-3748 or Alice at 750-9490.
Kathy Jones announced that August 2nd is National Coloring Book Day and there will be a special event at Churchill Rec Center from 1-3PM that day. All the coloring clubs will be there showing what they do, and they are encouraging Villages residents to stop by.

Show and Tell:
Bev Minnerly was back with us this week and has been busy making doll clothes for Giving Dolls. She also made a cute purse to replace one of hers that she gave to her daughter.
B.J. Herter had lots to show this week.
She finished her 6 grid placemats, a fidget walker bag,
a thread catcher, a petal purse,
and a lovely painted wall hanging.
Kathy Jones made 2 pillowcases
Charlotte Cecilio finished a walker bag.
Donna Rissman brought a UFO representative of this week's project - a quilted jacket tat just needed to be finished.
Our pillowcase diva Diana Gosselin didn't disappoint. She came with 10 pillowcases. She also showed a cute Dresden purse (which she will be showing us how to make in October.)
We were happy to see Linda Parr back. She showed a great orange quilt made from blocks from our stash of donated fabric and a couple of cute snap bags.
Pat Pipa made up a bunch on walker bags and one fidget walker bag using our new pattern. She also brought in a quilted sweatshirt jacket she made at a class a while back.
I found cute fabric at Sharky's sale last week and made 6 pillowcases.
I also finished 2 fidget walker bags and added some fidget tassels to one Donna Rissman completed last week.

New member Dariel Diestelkamp came a little late to drop off a fidget walker bag, but I got a photo of her anyway.
Next week we will be working on hanging storage. I have a couple of patterns, and have decided to combine a couple into one with options. I will send out info on supplies over the weekend.
