October 2017 Show and Tell

October Meeting -- 10/19/17

Good evening ladies,

Just wanted to touch base with you about our meeting this Thursday night. We have a fun evening on tap.

We will be having a Game and Goodies Night.  We will play Left ,Right and Center with 5" squares and fat quarter BINGO. Please bring 15 5" squares of any fabric you choose and 2 fat quarters. One fat quarter should be Christmas fabric and one in any fabric. The more people who play the more fun we will have. Also please bring a snack to share - sweet or savory your choice. We will have water, coke, diet coke and sprite.

We also need to appoint a committee to rec. a slate of officers for next year. The names will be presented at the November meeting for a vote.

There will also be a discussion and tentative decision about the date and location for our Christmas Party. In past years, we have enjoyed City Cafe but would certainly consider a new place. I think everyone had a blast last year.

Please bring your new Sassi Strippers name badges to the meeting. For anyone who was not at the last meeting and who wants to know the design and get the base fabric that was handed out handed out, call me. I will get it to you before or at the meeting.

Looking forward to seeing everyone Thursday.

September 2017 Show and Tell

September Meeting -- 9/21/17

Good Afternoon Ladies,

Just a note about our meeting Thursday. 

 We are going to be brainstorming ideas for a Sassi Stripper name badge. Put on your thinking caps and lets come up with a dynamite design.  After we decide on what we want to do, we can all go home and make ours.  I will bring my sewing machine and some scraps to play with. If you have a permanent pen that writes well, please bring it. All ideas are on the table. 

We will also have a game to celebrate fall. If you want to play bring a fall themed fat quarter. Fall prints, fall solids or fall themes will be welcome. Its hard to think fall when the temperature is 90 but we are game. If we waited for cool, crisp weather it could be Christmas.

As always bring any new quilts.  Our door prizes look good to me and I still have our UFO basket.

We will talk about our Christmas Party (can you believe it?) and plans for next year.

Looking forward to seeing all of you

Good Morning Ladies,

As you know we have our meeting this Thursday August 16.  I have attacked the minutes of our last meeting. Please review them if you get a chance. Our program will be on Safety and Movement for Quilters presented by Peggy Bourgeois RN and yours truly. There will be lots of tips on first aid and keeping flexible. We will also make final plans for our Demo Day that is Saturday from 10 to 2.

Please come to the meeting with ideas for a Sassi Strippers name tag.  Many of us have said they are interested in designing and making one.

On August 26 at the Highland Road Presbyterian Church there will be a sew day (Sewing Blue)  to make quilts for children of fallen police officers. I will forward a flier to you, in a separate email, in case you want to sign up.

Looking forward to tomorrow night.

Sharon
