Club Notes - Oct 2, 2024

We had 12 ladies come out today.  Mic brought a bin of nice fabric and I brought the fiber fill.  We also put out the 3.5 inch squares for anyone to work with.

This Saturday (Oct 5^th), is the Villages Craft Sale, 9AM-2PM.  I will be selling our club items in the Julio Iglesias room in the La Hacienda rec center. Proceeds from this will go to our charities. Several other of our members will also be selling their crafts. 

Carolyn Grasso has a table at Rohan rec center and Brenda Severa has a table at Colony.  This multi-rec center craft sale is open to anyone, whether they live in the Villages or not, so tell your friends and come out to shop.

Show and Tell

Brenda Severa is back and ready to sell her crafts at every local craft sale in the area.  She has been sewing like crazy all summer and showed some of the table runners she made,

 including 2 for our charity sale..

Anne Knoff showed a quilt top she made.

Donna Rissman showed a stuffed Candy Corn she made,  It came out a little lumpy 😉 , but she fixed it up during the meeting.

Diane Saculla showed a pair of moccasins that her friend made.  This friend makes them to order, custom fit to a person’s feet, and in any color.

 The rest of the afternoon was spent sewing, cutting, stuffing, and chatting, as always.

 I don’t have plans for next week yet.  I am just focusing on getting through the craft sale.  See you Saturday or next Wednesday.

Club Notes - September 25

There were 10 of us at today’s meeting, including 1 prospective new Villager.

I brought the fiber fill, Christmas fabric, and the bin of 1 yard and fat quarter pieces. 

We got assigned a table at La Hacienda rec center for the Oct. 5^th Craft Sale. The sale hours are 9AM-2PM.    I am now looking for 3 volunteers to help me at the sale.  I am only asking for 2 hour shifts, as follows:

8AM-10AM   setup and help with early shoppers

10AM-12:30PM   help with mid-day shoppers

12:30PM-2:30PM   help with afternoon shoppers and pack-up.

 

Please let me know if you can spare a few hours to help with this charity fundraiser.

 

Show and Tell:

Donna Rissman showed 2 Mommy-Baby Play mats.

  

She also showed a stuffed candy cord that we made a few years ago.  (I’m looking for it.)

Eileen DiSanto brought some bunnies, waiting to be stuffed.

Pat Pipa crocheted an infant hat, 

made some jar opener pads

and another hanging kitchen towel.

Ceal Pedersen showed a quilt she made for a great-grandchild expected in October. 

 She also brought back a bunch of stuffed toys, now with faces.

Anne Knoff showed 2 table runners made by her friend Cindy.

I showed a baby quilt I finished.

For the rest of the afternoon ladies stuffed toys, selected fabric, and chatted.

 

We ended early today.  The skies looked like rain. I hope everyone is prepared for hurricane Helene’s arrival tonight.  I shouldn’t hit us directly, but it is big enough that we will probably get some very strong winds and possibly some tornados.  Please stay safe.  I hope to see you next week.
