After the meeting I lined up to sign our room permit for 2020. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the recreation department has found a way to approve our room reservation for all but 3 weeks this winter. We no longer have to meet only every other week during the winter. We will have to break for 3 weeks from Dec 25 through Jan 8 and we have 1 week in March that we won't have a room, but other than that we can meet every week. We still have to switch rooms for Jan, Feb & March, but we will still be at El Santiago.
I've posted the schedule at the bottom of this email. You will see there are lots of openings for project ideas. If you have something to show or something you'd like to see demoed, please let me know.
On another note, the Creative Quilter's Market will be held at Savannah this Saturday, 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM. We encourage everyone to stop by and see what they are selling.
Show and Tell:
Diane Placek took the dinosaur pattern from Pinterest and enlarged it to a reasonable size. This will be a great addition to our toys for the kids at the hospital.
Bev Minnerly and B.J. Herter showed scarves with kitchen towels attached. This is a great way to have towels handy while you are cooking. (I'm wondering if the ends could be potholders?) We are hoping for a demo in the future.
B.J. Herter also made a fun Flip-Flop pillow as a gift and finished a candy corn table topper.
Charlotte Cecilio made more coordinated red, white and blue dryer sheet blocks.
Mic Pickard finished some candy zipper bags, a Halloween table mat, and some frogs. She found a new way to do the eyes, with french knots.
Pat Pipa showed the candy zipper bag she finished.
Lu Karatzas made 2 memory pillows for Eileen DiSanto from her husband's shirts.
I finished a couple of candy zipper bags, a pop-up basket, and a charity quilt.
I also finished 2 Cornerstone Hospice quilts that Charlotte and I laid out a few weeks ago.
***********************************
Today's demo was a simple one on how to make a carrier bag for a full size umbrella.
After the demo, several ladies took to the ironing boards to press and sort some of the fabric from our donation stash. Several other ladies helped me sort the 6.5 inch blocks by color family and lay out the brown blocks for a quilt design. I took the blocks home to add to my UFO project pile.
Next week I will show you how to make a loyalty card holder.
See you next week.
