Cutting, cutting, and more cutting.....that's what everyone did at the Sew-phisti-cuts meeting Wednesday night at Hobby Lobby.  Several ladies rolled in enormous amounts of fleece which everyone then proceeded to cut into appropriate-sized pieces for hats and scarves.  

All of this is preparation for Make-A-Difference Day, which falls on October 27th this year.  On that Saturday, members of the chapter will gather at an empty storefront in the Poughkeepsie Plaza to assemble all those fleece pieces into warm hats and scarves.  The finished items will then be donated to Hudson River Housing for distribution to those in need of warm accessories for the winter.

Here are two pictures of everyone hard at work - some folks are a little camera shy and didn't want to look up.....or maybe they were playing it safe; those rotary cutters are sharp!
