The March meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 8. We will be having dinner at 5:30 p.m. at Panera in Germantown before the meeting. Remember to pay your dues, if you have not done so already. Both local and National dues are due now.
Also, this will be the last meeting before our Workshop with Cindy Foose. So be prepared to sign up for classes. A check for the full amount holds your place in class. Also, be ready to order lunch for the workshop. Menus will be available at the meeting.
In the fall we will be hosting Gail Doane. You may look at a workshop being held at Lake Charles Sewing of some of Gail's classes. Let us know what you think. www.lakecharlessewing.com

Contest
From the Singer Sewing Manual 1949:
"Prepare yourself mentally for sewing. Think about what you are going to do ...... never approach sewing with a sigh or lackadaisically. Good results are difficult when indifference predominates. Never try to sew with a sink full of dirty dishes or beds unmade. When there are urgent housekeeping chores, do these first so your mind is free to enjoy your sewing..... When you sew, make yourself as attractive as possible. Put on a clean dress. Keep a little bag full of French chalk near your sewing machine to dust your fingers at intervals. Have your hair in order, powder and lipstick put on.....if you are constantly fearful that a visitor will drop in or your husband will come home and you will not look neatly put together, you will not enjoy your sewing as you should."
Does that little paragraph describe you when you sew? Well, we are going to have a little fun contest to see who is the prettiest or the ugliest sewer! Bring a picture of yourself sewing to the next meeting! If you can't bring yourself to capture yourself on film, then write a description or even a sketch of yourself at your sewing best and/or worst. You may enter as the prettiest sewer, the ugliest or both! There will be prizes for the winners in both categories.
A message from Wee Care
Regina and I are so pleased to see so many gowns taken out at the last meeting. Please finish and return them as soon as possible to keep the good trend going. We need to replenish our stock of gowns before we get another request for them. We gave out most of the finished gowns we had on hand at the end of the year. Thanks to all who help to keep this greatly appreciated service going.
