Excellent class with Carol Meyers as instructor. Everyone was able to finish and wanting to make more. 

Please welcome our 6 New Members when you see them in the sewing room: Carolyn, Sue, Mary Ann, Joyce, Christine and Virginia. They completed Orientation today. 

What a spectacular day! All the Fanatics had a great day, except for putting in the zippers, Lol. They were a little tricky but everyone did a wonderful job.

We had a fun time in Featherweights today.  Everyone was able to finish their project.  We also welcomed Ewa Barnes to the group today. Thank you ladies for making this an awesome group.

The purses turned out so good. Everyone had a great time picking out their colors and stiches. I think some may even make another. Thank you Diane Deep and Jean Abraham for helping me cut all the fabric for the class. 

Thank you Monica Cruz and Lorene Osterday for cutting all these flamingos for us on our AccuQuilt. The embroidery projects turned out great!
