We had a very busy afternoon. There were 14 of us in attendance. In addition to some scraps that we didn’t get to last week, another donation of fabric pieces came in this afternoon. We got busy sorting through it all and filling a load of dog begs. These will be going to the Leesburg Humane Society this week. The larger pieces were sorted into big pieces, squares, and medium size scraps that will either be made into toys or cut into squares. Thanks to everyone who helped.
Show and Tel:
Lorraine Manz sewed some of our squares together to make a quilt top/
Louise Stem finished her menstrual pad projects and showed us how all the components get packed together in one small casing, to be included with other items for Project Christmas Child.
Carolyn Grasso showed the critters she made, to be stuffed.
Eileen DiSanto made 2 dogs to be stuffed.
Pat Pipa handed in a walker bag.
Ellen Hein made 3 Christmas receiving blanket and burp pad sets and 12 burp clothes.
She also showed a panel she added borders to
and a quilt top that she did the binding on.
I made this one from a panel.
I made 6 toy owls
and 4 Christmas place mats from my UFO pile.
Everyone was busy as usual for the rest of the afternoon. In addition to the sorting and dog bed filling, a group also stuffed all the flat toys that came in.
We talked a bit about the situation with the reduction in
parking spaces. A construction crew,
possibly involved with the golf course renovation, has taken up more than half of the parking
spaces. Most of us wound up parking
close to the pool instead of anywhere near the rec center. When we vented to
the rec center staff, they recommended that we email the facility manager with
our concerns. I will be sending an email
tonight and I encourage anyone else who wishes to voice their concerns to email
him as well. I am attaching a copy of
his business card to my email so you will have his email address.
Hopefully, next week will be a calmer meeting.
See you next week.
