Announcements - The annual row by row shop list has been released and I have begun working up some alternative road trip plans. The best day for a trip seems to be on a Thursday since several shops are open later that day and it would allow us to get to the last one after 5pm if need be. There is also another shop hop July 20-Aug 4 called "A Charming Shop Hop". In that one you pay $8 for a passport and get a bracelet charm from each shop you visit. There is a little overlap in Row by Row shops and Charm shops, so I may plan one road trip to do both at the same time. I hope to have a proposal for 2 road trips by next week. As in prior road trips, I can take 5 passengers in my van and if more than that are interested we'll need to have a 2nd car and driver. Just something to think about for now.
Show and Tell:
Charlotte Cecillio finished her kitty door decoration. She also made a pillow out of one of her husband's t-shirts and used the excess fabric to make a couple of the cancer patient caps.
Eileen DiSanto make a mini microwave bowl to hold small ice cream dishes. She also made some hanging towels by sewing a potholder to the center of a towel and adding a button. Cute, practical, and easy!
Donna Rissman not only made a stuffed duck to donate, she made a baby one to give to Diana Gosselin, as a thank you for help in making this project. She also showed the square fabric boxes that she will be demoing on July 20th. These have lots of uses, and she showed one used to hold flowers.
Carol Riggs showed a shirt she embroidered for her table tennis activity.
Diane Placek, Pat Pipa, Lu Karatzas and I all showed completed zipper bags from last week's demo.
Dianna Gosselin made some cancer patient caps and some pillow cases to donate.
B.J. Herter finished another flannel charity quilt.
Marty Rhyne showed a couple of zipper bags she made from a free downloaded embroidery pattern.
Nella Rose put together a quilt top for our fidget quilt challenge.
***************************
Next week is our charity project week. I plan to bring supplies to make fidget walker bags and to adorn the fidget twin quilts that Bay View requested. We also had a request for more small drawstring bags for the Ocala shelter and Carol Riggs brought in a bunch of wine carrier bags that we can convert to these. Whatever you want to work on, there will be something for you to do, so come out and join in the sewing fun.
