Ok, I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, much less New Year's time, but November is our time to plan the upcoming year's schedule. So we talked about what we didn't get to from the past year, and what we'd still like to do, and figured out a schedule more or less, for the next year. And here it is:
January - revisit our New Year's (sewing) resolutions from last year and see how we did; make new ones
February - Stitch challenge: Learn to use a machine stitch in a new way (new to you)
March - Fabric manipulation: pleating, tucking, wrinkling, etc.
April - Stained Glass quilt techniques
May - open
June - Annual Sewing Room tour and potluck dinner
July - Lapped zipper
August - vacation - no meeting
September - Make A Difference Day preparation
October - Make A Difference Day preparation
November - Free-motion embroidery; planning for next year
December - holiday dinner out
After roughing out the schedule, we shared samples or patterns for holiday gift items that we 1) have made 2) will make or 3) hope to make someday, along with any show and tell items we brought.
