Happy
New Year all you Sassi Strippers!
I
am so excited about 2017. It will be an opportunity to put all the
trials and tribulations of 2016 behind us. I plan on a year of fun
and quilting. I'm really looking forward to be your new president. I
have very big shoes to fill.
Our
Christmas party was terrific. A million thanks to our president and
her helpers for a great time. The food was delicious and the
activities a trip. I may have to nominate our Pam as the poet
laureate of Louisiana. There were certainly times that I didn't know
my left from my right. Thank you so much Pam for a wonderful party,
not to mention 2 great years.
Our
meeting is this Thursday
January 19 at 6:30 at
the library. We will be sewing and preparing bears for stuffing for
the Giving Quilt Show Feb.
4th
and 5th
at
the Lamar Dixon Center in Gonzales. Please bring your sewing machine
to the meeting if you can sew bears. Having an extension cord is
probably a good idea. If you are not sewing bears, please bring
scissors to cut out or trim and clip sewn bears. Call if you have any
questions. More info about the show and other
activities at the
meeting.

Can't
wait to see you guys,
Sharon
