It was a great weekend of fellowship, idea-sharing, and the added bonus of a large donation! There is nothing like a group of women finding new life in someone else's cast-offs. Two tables full of fabric scraps were picked through and moved on to new life in many other people's quilting rooms. Then there is the air hockey table full of those items we won't use and are going to the Thrift Store. Many found something they could personally use here as well. Such inspiration and excitement even beyond the next several quilts that will be made from the fabric donation.
As always, Show and Tell was fabulous. We turned in 21 quilts and 6 pet beds. Check out the PHOTOS page to see pictures.
We started planning our next Friends and Family sewing event. Put July 7th on your calendar and start thinking about who you want to invite. This is a time for us to share what we do with others. Some bring spouses or children. Others bring friends. I think some visitors were a bit reluctant last time but in the end, I'm pretty sure all had fun! Start thinking now of who you can invite!
We also spent some time talking about Hope's plan to read the Bible in a year. Here is a link to Pastor Mike's podcast if you want to listen in. Even if you don't get involved in the daily bible reading, I find these podcasts to be extremely insightful and bring meaning to many of the bible passages you've probably read before.
