Thoughts
from Phyllis
Brar!! I am ready for spring weather! We need some warm, dry weather! I everyone had a great Easter and you were
able to enjoy the day! We went to my sister’s house and had an egg hunt and
brunch. We had dinner at my house with
of course, another egg hunt! Fun day-
but I was tired afterwards.
I hope
everyone is ready for our “pillowcase project”.
I have been wanting this finished project for the last couple of years -
I am ready! Make sure you have your
finished edges done for Tuesday night’s meeting. We will pleat the strips for smocking at the
meeting – so if we could have a couple of pleaters at the meeting that would
make the work go much quicker. Vivian
will also have the pearl cotton thread for the smocking at the meeting.
I hope
everyone will be able to make it to the meeting Tuesday.

Wee
Care Gowns Workday– 4th Tuesday of Each Month from January – October.
Mark your calendar
for our next Wee Care Workday will be the 4th
Tuesday in April – April 24, 2018 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 really need folks
to bring sewing machines to sew the
outfits that have been cut and pinned.
Mark your calendar: Saturday,
May 21 – Germantown Community Library, 1:00 – 4:00
Planning has begun for
the 2018 How-To Festival. As an alumni presenter, we have been
extended a special early invitation for the 2018 event. Just like last year,
we’ll be helping people to learn new skills in a friendly, free, hands-on
environment.
The community will be
invited to the library to rotate between tables and decide what they would like
to learn. To enhance the learner's experience, we are encouraged to make our
presentation as hands-on as possible.
We need MASG teams from
12:30 – 2:30 (includes setup) and 2:30 – 4:30 (includes takedown)
Please sign up for a
time at our April and May meetings. We
can be as creative as we want to be. The
more pleaters and more projects the better!
