Twelve of us got together this afternoon to sew. We were met with some unexpected news. The El Santiago rec center is scheduled for some extensive renovations in May. As a result, the rec center will be closed May 13-26, and possibly a week longer than that. We will have to take a break from meeting while this work is being done. I will keep you all informed.
We continued working on the walker bags today. When I left today I had 14 completed walker
bags. Brenda and I will meet with the
activity coordinator at Freedom Point rehab on Friday to turn these over and
establish a relationship.
I also expect to meet with the representative nurse from
Leesburg within the next week to confirm their requirements.
Show and Tell:
Nilda Nicoletta made 4 eyeglass cases.
B.J. Herter turned in a walker bag.
Ceal Pedersen brought 2 bags full of stuffed toys that she painted the eyes on.
Pat Pipa made 2 walker bags.
Bev Minnerly showed a stuffed cat and 4 doll bodies that she made for Dolls From the Heart.
Ellen Hein handed in a Hospice quilt for me to quilt
and
showed several quilts that she completed the binding on for us.
and sewed together 2 quilt tops using 9-patch blocks that have been turned in.
I showed the patterns for 2 potholders today. The first is shaped like a leaf and can be
made with fabric strips or a solid piece of fabric. The second is a pocket potholder that can be made in a regular
size or as a casserole carrier. I will
send out the patterns for these in separate emails. Our recommendation is, if you make either
potholder in the standard size, please make the in sets of 2. We have the fabric,
Insul-Bright and cotton batting scraps for anyone wanting to make some.
Mic and Anne have been busy putting together walker bag kits and have handed out quite a
few to be worked on over the next week. We
should be able to complete Freedom Point’s request in no time.
Hope to see you all next week.
