September 2018 Meeting

Narda called our meeting to order around 6:00 pm. and asked for a moment of silence. We have a few members who have experienced some sadness in their lives recently. We hope for brighter days for those affected.

Favorite tools or notions were discussed by some in attendance. It was a good discussion!

Attendance & Membership -
Members - 48 members in attendance

3 visitors - Ann Johnson, Lisa and her hubby from Loose Threads

GUEST SPEAKER - Lisa from Loose Threads in Harriman came to share some new things she is doing at her shop. She demonstrated patterns by Crabapple Hill using Crayola crayons and explained the process she uses to color on fabric for these projects. Very informative and she also brought some of her shop with her so we had an opportunity to shop!

Linda Yam won a giveaway from Lisa's shop
