We got lucky with parking this afternoon. By getting to the rec center before the dancers, we got the parking spaces and their cars were all along the curb as the only spots left.
The results of the room survey are in. The vote for option 2, staying with our current schedule, was almost unanimous, so I have notified the recreation department that we will keep with our current plan.
Since Dorian gave us a week off, many of us got some extra sewing time.
Show and Tell:
B.J. Herter brought out her Skeleton wall hanging and turned in a couple of Autumn placemats.
Carolyn Grasso made 8 Halloween placemats.
Carol Thurston made a placemat and turned in a dog bed. She also showed a pouch she made in a recent class.
Bev Minnerly made a stack of pillowcases and a bunch of doll clothes.
Mic Pickard worked with Lynn Delgado to make a dozen placemats. She also made some stuffed bears and some dog beds.
Deb Chapman turned in her French braid placemat.
Donna Rissman made a stack of placemats, a dog bed, and a shoe pillow. She also showed her cutting mat carrier bag that is also an ironing surface. (She will demo this in the future.)
Diane Placek made some placemats and a rack to hold playing cards. She also experimented with making a toy dinosaur and is working on enlarging the pattern. (This may wind up as one of our stuffed toy patterns.)
Ellen Hein made a stack of placemats, covered a roll pillow that was donated to us, made some pillowcases, and finished a fleece blanket for her grandson.
Carol Riggs talked about a friend of hers who is in her 80's and made a bunch of purses. Carol was able to sell them all for her friend.
I showed a couple of placemats I finished and 2 zipper bags made with candy bag fronts. This is a project I will demo in a few weeks.
***************************
Our regular Daily Sun reporter visited us again today, so watch for an article in the paper.
After the threat of Dorian passed, I was able to make 2 deliveries.
I delivered 37 stuffed toys to the Villages Regional Hospital Auxiliary.
Then I was able to get up to Ocala and deliver 6 quilts, 16 pillowcases, 11 zip bags, 8 draw-string backpacks, 2 crocheted shawls and a bag full of soaps, shampoos, etc. to the Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Center. I also through in a case of bottled water that I didn't need since Dorian passed us by.\
This afternoon I also finally had a chance to get the 3 fidget walker bags that have been turned in to the Sewing Studio for pick up.
Next week Donna Rissman will be showing us how to make the candy corn table topper. I will send out the supply list in a separate email.
