We are approved to once again use the picnic pavilion at the Montpelier Center for our September 8th meeting. The bathrooms will be available for our use.
Last month we discussed starting the meeting a bit earlier, since we are now in a season where it gets dark around 7:30. There are lights in the pavilion but having some daylight will be better for our meeting. I know that the message from the county said we are starting at 6:30, however, I've spoken with our Parks & Rec contact and we should be fine to start at 6:00.
If you want to come, but feel 6:00 is too early, PLEASE send me (Peg) an email letting me know when you think you can be there. If 6:00 is difficult for a lot of people, we will start a little later.
Betsy Scott will be presenting a short program about how she makes her beautiful potholders. We also plan to discuss ideas for using orphan blocks, so if you have orphan blocks hanging around in your sewing space, bring them along. And remember your show-and-tell and veterans quilts!
If you have baby quilts to donate to VCU or other quilts for Hanover Safe Place, I am happy to collect them at our meeting and get them to the right place.
At this time we are NOT approved to have sewing days in September. I am discussing ideas with the Parks & Rec folks and will let you know if anything changes. We are also discussing ideas for how or where we could meet in October and on into the winter, since meeting in the picnic pavilion won't work once it gets cold!
Hope to see all of you on Tuesday at 6:00 pm.
