Sew ... What's Happening?

Stitchin Divas - April 2

Stitchin Divas

Sue Grater and Cindy Brown had a guest speaker at the Stitchin Divas meeting today.

15 people turned their embroidery blocks and 5 winners were drawn. Great meeting! Thank you all those that participated today.

Next month... Marianne Corr will demonstrate how to download embroidery designs from the internet and get them to your USB Drive. Enroll now, it should be very informative.

Update on Cleaning Sewing Machines.

Good Afternoon All, 

The Machine Cleaners are leaving a little fabric strip that says "cleaned" under each sewing machine foot.  Please when you see that strip of fabric and you use the machine, pin the "cleaned" fabric strip to the underneath of the pin cushion in the each drawer.

Do not remove the fabric strip unless you use the machine.  This will help the machine cleaners not have to clean every machine unless they are used.

Gail Covert was kind enough to make all these fabric strips.  The Machine Cleaners thank you in advance for you cooperation.

Sew Happy!
