Mark
your calendars and make plans to attend our outing at Whitney Hills Estate November
5th. I am also getting
information on Davies Plantation Quilt
and Fiber Show November 4th
-6th.
I
find it hard to believe we are already in October of this year. With the weather still being too warm
outside, it is hard to be thinking of Thanksgiving and Christmas but it is that
time of year. Lace Cottage has Christmas
fabric and the new Christmas plates in stock.
We even have some ‘pre-smocked’ Christmas inserts and Christmas trims to
save time! Our calendar is filled with new classes as well as some basic ones-
and we have Sit and Sew every Monday if you would like to just come enjoy
company while you finish your project.
See
you Tuesday!

Wee
Care Gowns Workday– 4th Tuesday of Each Month from January – October
Mark your calendar! Our next Wee Care Workday (9:30 – 2:00)
will be Tuesday
October 25, 2016 at Lord of Life Lutheran Church (Poplar Pike). This will be
our last Wee Care workday until January. 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. Many kudos to the 9 ladies who were at our last workday – Amy Johnson, Connie Scott, Regina Sanford,
Glynda Whitlow, DiAnne Drennan, Laurel Adamsen, Jane Soffos, Sarah Schwab and
Susan Batson.

Request from Susan:
Please check your stash for 1 yard or ½ yard pieces of cotton
print, colorful fabric. Why? Our sewing ministry at Covenant UMC – Stitches
of Hope – is sewing smocks for the
nannies at an orphanage in Haiti.
One of our church members regularly goes there for a week in mission. There are
about 30 nannies who use 2 smocks per year. We sent about 25 smocks in September,
but need to make many more smocks for her next mission trip in January.
Please bring the fabric to our
meeting, or I can arrange to pick it up at Lace Cottage. Want to help us sew
the smocks? Just let me know and I’ll get you started!
Birthdays
Marty - October 26th
