The Holidays are coming Fast. Are You Ready?

Ladies, As the holidays approach, I find that I want the create gifts for others, but, time always runs away. So this year I have a proposal.

Are you interested in meeting weekly for a social sewing group until the end of December?

The weekly group will meet at Joann. Everyone will work on their own independent projects, supported and encouraged by each other.

Rules: Buy your supplies at Joann, when possible. Pay a weekly fee (only way to use the classroom). Arrive anytime after 4:00 pm, leave by 8:45. Bring your own machine. I have received authorization for a weekly fee of $10, provided we sign up for a minimum of 3 weeks at a time.

We can do Wednesdays or Thursday nights in December, or if there are a minimum of 4 people in each, both. Beginning 1st week, until the week leading up to Christmas.

Meet at Joann's back classroom, on Wednesday, November 17 th, 6 pm. To sign up and for an organizational meeting (bring information about what you will be working on to share with and inspire others). Karen Burgess

Quilting Retreat - In February


As a member of the Honeybee Quilters Guild, I attend the retreat they do every February. They always bring in national quilting teachers, and have classes from local teachers. At this time the national teachers classes are full, but there is room on the waiting list for these classes. The local teachers still have room.

To check out the retreat, (which is held at the Ramada Inn at 295 and San Jose Blvd) check out the website. http://www.honeybeequilters.org/ The weekend is so much fun and very educational. maybe some of you will attend and we can swap stories.
