1.  A bag lunch (pizza dinner will be supplied!), your beverages for the day 
2.  Your machine WITH CORDS
3.  Your project(s) to complete
4.  Heavy duty extension cord and pulse protector for your table
 
Ironing boards and irons will be provided.
We will set up a cutting station with mats and cutters for your use all day!

Little Dresses for Nicaragua

Betty Jean Boyd will be bringing lots of kits to make one of these little dresses.  The kits are complete with all the things needed to finish a dress.  You are encouraged to add pockets or any decorations but buttons.  The dresses do not take very long to make and can be completed on your machine.  Many thanks for helping!
 
Demos
 
Throughout the day we will give our participants an opportunity to learn something new with Bobbie Spaid and Julia Penna.
  • Quilt Pocket Story
Bobbie will show you her design for the quilt story that is easily attached to the back of the quilt as a permanent part of the quilt’s legacy.  This clever add to your quilt is modeled after AnneMarie Rowland’s approach (April’s speaker) to remembering the story and making it a part of the life of the quilt for future generations.
  • Curves Simplified
Julia will offer us ways to master the curve that has become a part of the modern quilt patterns making a big splash at shows!  The excitement around piecing these curves instead of appliquéing them is a technique you want to master!
 
Pizza Dinner
 
Pizza will be delivered for the guild members to share after the Sew-In.  Enjoy this time with fellow quilters.  
 
NICU/Preemie Quilt Final Count 

We will get a report on the status of the work everyone has done and how the quilts will be distributed.  Celebrate meeting and exceeding our goal with us!
 
Short Business Meeting
 
We will have a short business meeting at 7:00 p.m. followed by our annual Ice Cream Social fun event!
