We survived the craft sale today and sold quite a lot of our inventory. Mic took the remaining items home with her so I can't say what is left yet. We will inventory the leftovers the first chance we get and decide what can be donated. I can say that we made $294 Louise took the following photos:
There were 14 of us at El Santiago this afternoon. I brought out the 3.5” squares, 4.5” squares, and available larger fabric pieces.
Starting in November, we will have one week each month
designated as a project day. On this
meeting day, everyone who can should bring their sewing machine. If you have difficulty carrying or rolling it
in, come into the meeting room and let me know.
We can arrange for someone to bring it in on one of the carts. If you let me know before the meeting I can
also bring a flat cart to assist.
Those who can’t bring their machine can assist by cutting or
ironing.
I am tentatively scheduling these project days for the 2nd
Wednesday of each month.

Show and Tell:
Carolyn Grasso was given some fabric by a woman who stopped
at her craft table last weekend. The lady only asked for a doll back so Carolyn
made her first attempt at doll making.
She is looking for help to learn how to make clothes for the doll.
There was lots of activity for the rest of the afternoon,
especially as the new members asked questions and learned a little of what we
do.
I hope to see you next week.
