1st ​​Thursday Sewing Group - 10am - 1pm

Our next 1st Thursday Sewcial is
​**Nov 7 at the church**.  Bring any project you would like to work on, hand or machine. 
​Our Guild members have the opportunity to meet the 1st Thursday for a "Thursday Sewcial" at Mills Chapel Baptist Church.  It is a great time to share ideas and socialize while working on projects for ourselves or our community. If you don't want to bring your machines, bring your hand sewing or hand sew some binding on some of our charity quilts.
Fifth Thursday Sewing for 2024
We had a great time at our final 5th Thursday sew. 
We made 66 placemats. Great job!! This brings a total so far to 107 placemats. Our goal is 250 placemats to be able to donate to Meals of Wheels.  If everyone would make (3) more by our December meeting, we can make the goal?  Bonnie will be taking the mats to Meals on Wheels on the 13th.  
This was our last 5th Thursday sew for the year.  We will start back in the new year.  
LIBRARY BAG UPDATE: We have completed 146 as of Sept.  Please turn your completed bags in by Nov 20th.  The church has invited any of us to come and help pack the boxes for Operation Christmas Child on Nov 24th.

Do you have an idea for a fun Field Trip?  Let our board members know.
Previous field trips our members have been on have been a lot of fun.  
7 Guild members went with MJ Kinman to the SEQTM to see the Quilt Nihon Exhibit after the Guild Meeting.  We had a wonderful time eating lunch together and then enjoying the exhibit.
