April Meeting

 

Good morning ladies.

I just wanted to remind you of the Sassi Strippers meeting tomorrow 4/21 at the Jones Creek Library at 6:30 PM.  We will see a great tool for completing binding. In addition, Pam will tell us all about her retreat in Natchitoches and the ladies who were able to attend the GSQA show in Slidell can fill us in. Pam will be in charge as I have to go to Virginia to my sister's wedding. I know everyone will have a great time.

See you guys in May. Sharon

 squares or strips.  Final blocks will be 12.5" square (12" finished).   If possible, make 4 or 5 blocks

 An example is below, but "you do you" with your fabric.

February Show and Tell

 

February Meeting

 

Happy Valentine's Day ladies. This Thursday we are having our February Meeting at the Jones Creek Library. Our theme for the night is "Show Your Love".  We will show that love by stuffing bears for Cancer Services and the Children's Hospital and  bringing a sweet to share with the group. Please let me know if anyone is interested in attending via zoom and we will set it up. Looking forward to seeing everyone. We have lots of bears to stuff and lots of stuffing. Hope everyone is well. Our thoughts are with Karol who is under the weather.

See you Thursday

Sharon Holder
