USPS. Please let JoAnne know if you want
to participate. She and Barbara M will
pick names and send emails to each person.
Limit is $20.00.
Those of you participating can
send you “wish list” of 3 sewing/quilting items to JoAnne (jvdavidson@comcast.net). She’ll send a reminder out to everyone in a
week or so. We’re less than a month
away. Mail is trending slower these days
so please make sure you mail in time to arrive for our Dec 4 meeting. **suggestion for keeping Secret Santa a
secret, use your own return address on the package**

the next round of the UFO challenge is quickly approaching! Entries will be

out to the group for voting.
Prizes
will be awarded on the completed UFOs in 3 categories:
1. Oldest
2. Use of Color
3. People’s Choice
Speakers/Workshops:
For
those who signed up, Carolina Oneto’s Organic
Shapes workshop was today following our meeting from 10-12:30. Carolina is a very talented and inspirational
quilter and, an excellent teacher. Prior
to the workshop she provided detailed written instructions on creating organic
shapes, basic and variants (overlapping and stacking). During the workshop she demonstrated the
“how-to’s”, put us in breakout rooms and we went to work, with her checking in
on us every few minutes. Her detailed
tutorial and explanation made for quite an enjoyable session for all with some
very creative results.
Month

Month by modern quilt designer Sherry Shish is now available on our page of her website. Everyone has received the details on
accessing it but if you need it resent let JoAnne know.
Reminder:
