September Monthly Meeting

It's always a pleasure getting together with the Sankofa Stitchers, and September's meeting was no different.

Gail gave a demonstration using "Add A Quarter" Ruler

 

Our Show and Tell is always fabulous!

Ora's beautiful wedding ring quilt top was certainly a topic of awe and wonder!

Gail made a keepsake book of a trip she took with her grandchildren.

We saw some TINY work from Tarsha!

MLK - A Day of Service

On Monday we gathered for our monthly meeting, and in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, we held a service day.  It's always great when we get together to sew, but especially so when in service of others.

After our meeting we went right to work, sorting and divvying up the tasks to be done. One project we worked on was to make toiletry kits for Womanspace.org.  This organization provides "help for women, men, and families impacted by domestic and sexual violence."  Everyone brought supplies to make a few each.  Washcloths were folded and sewn into pockets to hold the items donated.

The other project we worked on was to make receiving blankets for Children's Home Society.  We were blessed to receive a donation of quilt shop flannel from Bits n Pieces Quilt Shop!  We set right to work making these little beauties!

Our First Christmas

Coming to the end of our first year, we can take time to look back over all we have learned and shared together - making new friends and wonderful memories in the process.  Such a talented group of quilters - wonderful ladies all!

Our holiday get together was a joyous gathering for everyone.  We selected the 1 Hour Basket from kelbysews to make as an exchange gift, drawing names to give color choices, and filled the baskets with some goodies for its recipient.  Seeing all the different baskets - from one pattern - so much creativity and great ideas!
