Minutes of our February 2012 meeting

Minutes of February 2012 Meeting
This was our quarter auction and we all went home with some treasures!  Thank you Alice for organizing it.

Our fat quarter theme last month was red and the winner was Emily.  She has chosen batiks for March’s theme. 

Mary Jane spoke about the bibs we are making at our March meeting. She says we need 2 layers of flannel and one of cotton for the front. We will have some ties/velcro donated to fasten them.  I am sure the residents will feel special wearing them—and we will have fun making them!

We had a thank-you from Molly for all the best wishes after her recent surgery.  She is recovering well.

8 people are participating in the secret sister exchange.

The manor is now locking the back door at 4 o’clock for security reasons.  Please knock on the window and someone will let you in.  Also if you are the last person leaving, please make sure the door is securely closed and locked.
Some dates:
March 8-- Retreat and potluck supper with Pins ‘n Needles at the Centreville Hall. It starts at 9:00, costs $3.00 and you can stay and sew all day.
March 26—Ann is giving a double Irish chain class at the Centreville Baptist Church Hall.  It costs $20.00, includes lunch,snacks etc. You can sew all day until 4:00.  Call Ann Steadman if interested.

Our balance (not including charity money for the food bank) is $458.07.

Sew In Saturday is on for Saturday March 10. Lunch will be provided because we are having a Pampered Chef demo—and she is preparing some delicious treats.  I will make the soup I made last month because everyone deemed it was safe to eat!  We had a great time again  last month .
