Open Sew Days! Learn a new
technique for your Jelly Rolls!
When: November 15, 16 & 17
Where: Stanton Town Hall
We’ll be getting together to work on
projects - set up your space for 3 days of uninterrupted sewing! No
laundry! We will also have Caring Quilt Projects set up for all those that wish
to participate – Quilts to tie, and a new, fun technique to learn while making
a caring quilt – check it out!
What: One of the newer ideas that is making the
rounds is a "Jelly Roll Race".
Caring Quilts is going to modify it from a race
to a marathon and in the process we will all learn a new technique while
helping restock the Caring Quilts inventory.
We will have more details at the November
meeting but wanted to let everyone know sooner so that you could start making
plans.
The link below will show you the technique that
we'll be using.
Thanks and hope to see you there!
Hi Everyone! Ahh, my last newsletter as
Secretary to you all! Welcome, Cathy Smith to Secretary! Also – welcome Erica Olson

November Meeting
Reminders – Meeting will be held at St. Luke’s, Thursday – November 9th
at 7 PM.
Hostesses: Sandy Balcerak, Mary Pagel and Donelle Fisk.
Stashbusters –For new folks – you take pieces of fabric and
follow the guidelines of the person that brought in the fabric. You make your
blocks and bring them to the next meeting. You get to submit your name for each
block that you make. We draw a winner and that person brings in fabric the next
month. We always have 2 rounds going. If you win the blocks, you can still
participate, but you cannot win during the next year to give other folks a
chance to win. Mary Pagel brought in the fabric - Bring in your blocks, match
the rose & green – 10.5 inches unfinished. Yvonne Green won the blocks
and will bring in fabric at the Nov. meeting

Committee Sign-ups – Please
consider signing up for committees. It’s a great way to get to know

Retreat – We figured out that January meeting actually
conflicts with retreat, so Erica is researching the Church availability to see
if we could reschedule the meeting.
Erica’s request – if you have
fabric or old pillow cases in good repair, please consider donating to the
Fabric for Africa Dresses. You can bring the fabric to November’s meeting and
Erica will take care to get it to the charity.
