Club Notes - March 13, 2024

Thanks to Mic for stepping in yesterday to run the meeting.  Although I am doing OK, the pain meds I am on prevent me from driving.   It’s a good thing too, since I find myself nodding off during the day.  They say sleep is the best healer.  Needless to say, I am not doing any sewing this week.

Here are the notes Mic sent:

“You were missed‼️‼️‼️But, good news:  Audrey brought the 2 green pillowcases today so you can scratch that off your list👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. We took on the big block box from the closet in conjunction with the squares & other ideas each person had so that box now looks like the pic above🤗🤗🤗🤗. I’ll send the sheets & show & tell pics tomorrow when I have a fresh brain for computer work🥰🥰🥰. Everyone sends their best including Lois.”

 

I think this means the Big Block Box is now a Big Block Bag!   That means more room in the closet to store soothing else.  Maybe toy fabric?

 

Show and Tell

Deb Chapman showed a St Patrick’s table runner top from the pattern I showed last week, and the fabric she plans to use for the backing.

Nilda Nicoletta joined in right away by making some 9-patch blocks.

Carolyn Grasso showed a horse quilt top sheis working on.

Bev Minnerly made a walker bag.

Mary Ellen Boutin made some 9-patch blocks and a quilt top.

Audrey Phillips made a quilt,

 a panel, 

and a Bunco badge.

Lynn Delgado made a duffle bag.

(With the 2 Ellen made, we now have enough for this year's graduates.)

Ellen showed a quilt she made and now finished with binding,

 and a quilt Deb Chapman turned in that Ellen finished the binding on.

Mic sent a photo of a bag full of felt hearts, but it wasn't part of show and tell, so I asked.  Jean Peters hand stitched and stuffed them all!! I will have to cut a bunch more.

I think next week is planned to be toy making day.  I will let you know if I hear otherwise.

Mic will run the meeting again.  I get my staples out on the 26^th, so I hope to be back with you on the 27^th.
