Off and Running

We are off and running for a good fall!  The September meeting was absolutely fabulous.   What a turn out!   We had 3 visitors and we hope they will all return next month (which will be the 3rd Saturday the 19th).      They were Sandy Ramsour, Nouhad Saade, and Shelby Hampton.  
We are working on the placemats for the Johnson County Meals on Wheels recipients for Christmas 2013.      In fact, we now have 109 of the 170 placemats needed by December 1st.   
Doris brought ten receiving blankets she had finished this month, which she gave to Shelby to deliver to the Cleburne pregnancy center.   We also gave Shelby one of Dana's baby blankets to take to them.    We had coffee, chatter and accomplished alot.
I have some pictures to share, woohoo!

Here we have Doris showing Peggy how to put on the binding!   LOL
 I do believe Brenda is making a point!

 Nouhad is sewing binding on and ironing binding for some more placemats!  She is one of the first timers that came this month!

 My neighbor and friend, Sandy came to play with us too.   She is getting some instruction from Ron on bindings.
 Shelby Hampton also came to play.   She is very excited to be a part of our little group.   Next month she will be sewing  bindings as well as having her coffee! 
 Dana brought several "crumb catchers" and beautiful crocheted baby blankets.  Truly gorgeous, Dana!

We missed Anna, Barbara and Jeanette this month.   Now that my computer is back up and running, I will post the email letter I received from a recipient of the receiving blanket at (Walls) Texas Health Hospital in Cleburne.    Very inspiring! 
Please remember to keep your ears open for any new babies born in our church and anyone you may know that would appreciate/need a lap quilt.  We sure don't want to miss our own church family members!   And lastly, a big Thank You to the Bryan's for once again opening up their home to us!
