Wednesday was a good day to be in air conditioning, what with the temperature outside being in the 90's. So the five of us who gathered that evening at Hobby Lobby stayed a little cooler as we worked on making aprons for residents of Thompson House in Rhinebeck. The aprons are designed to protect residents' clothes as they cook, bake or do craft activities, and are made with wheelchair-bound users in mind. Twelve aprons in larger sizes had been requested, so our goal was to make at least twelve. By the end of the evening we had cut out 16 from various fabrics in the chapter's stash, finished three and had several others in various stages of being finished. The unfinished ones were doled out to be completed at home. So within a few weeks we should have all twelve completed aprons.

We had a few moments at the end of the meeting for some Show and Tell, pictures of which are below. Next month's meeting will be another round of service sewing, with the plan being to make some scarves and hats for the benefit of Hudson River Housing.
