Charity Sew In (lead by Lorelei):  Lorelei found a quilt square (stash buster on Craftsy blog) for our first sew in.  About 10 members brought their sewing machines to sew the blocks.  Lorelei and new member Diane helped with cutting and ironing during the sew in.  Can't wait to see all the blocks in December.  Thank you, Lorelei for organizing our first charity sew in.


Thanks for sharing.  See you next month.
