Upcoming Programs & Dates

I have SO MUCH to share from the meeting last night that I will need to break it out into several posts.

I'll start with some key dates and upcoming events.

November Sew-In
Saturday, November 16
1:00 - 5:00

There will be NO meeting in November due to the Thanksgiving holiday and our next meeting will be our potluck get together on Thursday, December 12.

Congrats to Beth P. for winning the lovely assortment of aqua and gray blocks from October's BOM.


December Ornament(s) Swap
We will be swapping ornaments at the December party.  Anything handmade...  fabric, fiber, yarn, clay, paper, anything!  For each ornament you bring you will get to swap for another handmade ornament.

I love to hang handmade ornaments on my tree, and it's even better when I know they are made by friends!

Xandi has put together a list of fun ornament ideas and tutorials.  I will post that on the blog in the next day or so.


OK, that is it for now.  More to come in the next few days about our other meeting topics and the Swap For Someone You Love items and pictures.  

Boy oh boy you should have seen my son's reaction to his swap items from Kim.  He L-O-V-E-D them!!!

Happy Weekend,
Karen E.
