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.
