28 - Thursday Sewcial 10am-1pm
You won't want to miss our annual auction on the EVENING of September 21 st. Starting at 6pm. So get your auction items ready.   :)

We have a Singer 99K donated, and bolts of fabric colors and patterns unknown
​
Here is how it works.  You purchase tickets for 25 cents apiece.  These will be on sale at both the August and the September meetings.  You may want to purchase ahead in order to have time to put your name or address label on the back of your tickets.  On auction night, members bring in good quality textile related articles (no magazines) to donate.  Each item will have a paper bag taped to the table below it.  You put your ticket(s) into the bags of items that you would like to win.  At 6 PM sharp, we will begin drawing the names.

Please have the items that you wish to donate to the auction at the church and set up by 5 PM so that everyone will have a chance to "shop". 

Be sure to tell your friends and bring guests for an evening of fun.
Fifth Thursday Sewing  months of the year have a fifth Thursday, ​so we are designating this day as a sew-in. Next 5th Thursday will be November 30th.
If you missed August's 5th Thursday Sewcial making library bags for Operation Christmas Child (Shoebox Gift) you can make them at home and turn in at the September or October meeting. There is a Library Bag pattern posted in the Files section of the guild’s Facebook page that members used to make bags in previous years, though any pattern can be used. Several style bags can be found here: http://www.simplyshoeboxes.com/p/crafts.html Mills chapel filled 350 shoeboxes last year. While they do not expect us to provide that many bags they can use as many as we can make!

Christmas Market Update

​This year’s market will be led by a team, and we are collecting items at every meeting. Look for Jan Pilnacek to turn in your donations. Items made with team fabrics sold really well last year!  Please include a suggested price with items you contribute. Let’s beat last year’s donation total – 696!
A dozen pillow forms were donated to the guild. If you would like to cover them for the Christmas Market let Martha know.
