Hello Ladies,

Well Halloween is behind us but at my house, not so much the candy!! Is it so wrong to have a Butterfinger or two for breakfast?? I bet I'm not the only one!! Come on, you know who you are 😊

Hard to believe Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, and then OMG! Christmas!!! So some of us start getting the house organized for the holidays with sewing projects, cleaning up etc. This is a really good time to mark your calendars to attend our guild meeting on November 10th as we have Jennifer Gammill visiting us to help us get our sewing rooms organized. Something I can sure use help with. I would love to have a large crowd to show her our support! 

Also, Lace Cottage will be having a Christmas open house on Saturday, November 14th, to show off all our adorable Christmas outfit samples we have put together for you. Let's all show our support for our small businesses that support us!

See you all at our next meeting!
Thanks, Kit 

Calling all Wee Care gowns!

Look high and low – finished or unfinished - for your Wee Care gowns and bring them to our meeting! It's time to gather the gowns together to share with our "littlest angels". Thanks!

Program and Refreshments
Our program will be presented by Jennifer Gammill – helping us organize our sewing space. Let's all make an extra effort to be present.
Refreshments will be provided by Amy and Regina.
Wee Care Gowns Workday– 4th Tuesday of Each Month from  January – October
Our next Wee Care Workday will be January 26, 2016 at Lord of Life Lutheran Church (Poplar Pike). Please make plans to come for all or part of the day -  it would be a great help. We need folks to bring sewing machines to sew the outfits that have been pinned.  

Kudos to those 7 ladies who helped at October’s workday: Amy Johnson, Regina Sanford, Jane Soffos,  DiAnne Drennen, Jane Gross, Connie Scott and Susan Batson. Jane brought wonderful homemade soup and cake for all to enjoy!

Thanks, Amy! PhD takes on new meaning for us all!


Molly,  8 year old granddaughter of Susan Batson, modeled her nightgown while we were in Baltimore last September. She is the 2nd generation to wear this gown - her mom and aunt wore it many years ago. Smocked outfits do span generations!
