We were inundated with fabric at the May meeting of Sewphisticuts this past week. The group met at Judy's house and worked on measuring and pricing all the donated material for the chapter's Tag sale coming up at the end of the month. Eight of us sorted, inspected, measured and priced donated yardage, notions, kits, etc. This is going to be a huge sale with lots of good quality stuff on offer. Be sure to stop by on May 30 at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Fishkill during the town-wide tag sale, and please spread the word to friends and neighbors. Bargains are to be had!
As far as group business went, we discussed Make-A-Difference Day projects. Although it seems a long way off, we need to start planning it now. Connie will be exploring needs with Hudson River Housing, a group that is always appreciative of receiving PJ pants and pillowcases for their shelters.
Our June meeting is the annual Sewing Room tour and potluck dinner. Ronnie has graciously agreed to host this year. The gathering will begin at 5:30 pm, a little earlier than our usual meeting time. Watch for emails concerning the meeting a few weeks from now as menu planning begins.
