We celebrated the 5th anniversary of our club today with lots of good food.
Thanks to everyone for the lovely gift of a sewing machine music box. I really love it.
Show and Tell:
Eileen DiSanto showed some hexi mug rugs she made at a class she, Pat Pipa and B.J. attended on Saturday.
The ones Pat and B.J. made are hot-pad size.
B.J. is going to show us how to make these at a future meeting.
Carole Lamb used the past year and a half to finish several projects. She made a rag quilt from leftover fabrics from making children's pillowcases.
Next she showed a quilt she made starting with a large block she found in our stash back in 2019.
Finally, she brought in about 20 pillowcases, some from our recent kits and some from the past year.
In addition to the hot plates, Pat Pipa made several walker bags
and some mug rugs for our sale.
Deb Chapman came with a couple of tote bags made from charm squares.
Back in 2019 I handed out a bunch of quilt block kits. Deb took the ones that came back and put the blocks together into a quilt top.
Carolyn Grasso pulled a stack of Christmas squares from our donation stash and turned in a completed quilt top.
She also made another dinosaur.
Bev Minnerly made a walker bag
and 2 patriotic hot pads.
**************************
I gave the group a pretty big challenge this afternoon with a "color" trivia quiz. There were 30 multiple choice questions. Diane Placek and Deb Chapman got the most right answers with 18 and 17 out of 30.
For the rest of the afternoon we played "Sewing Bingo." Today was also EIleen DiSanto's birthday, so it was fun that she won the first 2 games.
Next week was going to be a charity and free-sew week, but Audrey Phillips sent me a nice pattern for a patriotic place mat. I asked for a show of hands and everyone wanted to do this. I will send out the supply list and pattern separately.
Thanks to everyone for pitching in with the clean-up.
See you next week.
