Club Notes - October 16, 2024

There were 11 of us at today’s meeting.  It was good to get back and hear no one had any significant damage from Hurricane Milton.    I brought the bin of 1 yard and fat quarter pieces, as well as some very large fabrics (yards). Mic brought 2 bins of small pieces and 1 of large fabrics. Ann Knoff brought lots of scraps that needed to be sorted for dog beds.

Thanks to those who were able to volunteer to help next Saturday at Savannah.  The schedule looks like the following:

7:30AM-10AM  Sydna Eastman and B.J. Herter

10AM-1PM – Diane  Brunovsky

1PM-2:30PM Faye McCarrell, Donna & Marc Rissman

 

We have 2 tables for this one so we should be able to display things better. Please let your Villages friends and neighbors know about the sale 9AM-2PM at Savannah.  Villages IDs will be checked for entry.

 

Show and Tell:


Louise Stem showed sets of reusable menstrual pad kits she made for Operation Christmas Child.






Eileen DiSanto made a table runner for her neighbor.




Ellen Hein made a bunch of fleece blankets. 








She also turned in receiving blankets, burp pads, and infant hats.


Finally, she finished the binding on a quilt I made:

During the meeting she worked on another quilt top:




Donna Rissman showed several aprons 




and 2 table runners.




I showed some microwave potato bags, 



neck lanyards 


and wrist lanyards I made for our sale.



Most of the ladies spent the afternoon sorting through the scraps Anne brought in.  Near the end of the afternoon Mic and I looked through a box of Christmas fabric to see what might be useable.  There are several large pieces that would work great as gift bags.   We will talk about these next week and make this fabric available to anyone who would like to make some to use instead of wrapping paper this Christmas.
