Happy Scrappers Meet At Attic Window

Hello Quilters!  The Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop this past Saturday.  There were only four of us, but I can honestly say that a good time was had by all.  Above, is Marty who worked on stitching the binding on her quilt.

And this is LeeAnne showing us what she did that day.

And this is Karen.  I had to use the picture I took last month because my camera died and I used my phone to take the picture, but for the life of me cannot get the picture from my phone to my computer!  Maybe I'm getting too old for this.  

Anyway, we had fun sewing, talking and snacking!  What a wonderful day!  I'm so thankful for having this hobby.  I've met so many wonderful friends and I noticed something the other day.  I was sitting alone at home and having some negative thoughts (okay, I was feeling sorry for myself) and went to my sewing room and got busy.  And you know what?  I didn't have a negative thought all that day!  I was busy making something for my granddaughter and creating and enjoying and thanking God for giving me this awesome hobby.  

And it occurred to me, this is a dying art.  I don't think schools even have a sewing class anymore.  How do young women learn to sew?  Does anyone make gifts anymore?  And what about giving to charity?  I belong to a group that makes the quilts, gives them to me to quilt on my long arm machine, I give them back, they attach binding and give them to charity.  People still need this creative art.  It benefits both the giver and the receiver.  

My question is, what can we do to keep this wonderful art from dying?  Anyone??????

Well, enough of my thoughts.  I wanted to let everyone know that  the Happy Scrappers will not be meeting the months of November (due to Craft Days.  Have you signed up for Craft Day yet?)  and December (due to the Holidays).  Our next meeting will be the last Saturday in January.  I expect to take a lot of pictures then!!!

Happy Scrappers Meet Saturday, Oct 26th

Look what I did with my scraps!  I made  this handy sewing machine mat, and I don't have to search for my tools anymore.  You can use your scraps, too, to make pretty and functional items for your home.  You can sew on your scraps, or work on a project of your choice, when you come to the Happy Scrappers.  We meet this coming Saturday, Oct 26th, at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. 

 I know, I can't believe it's already the last Saturday of the month!  Have you been on a color tour?  The colors are fantastic this year! Anyway, I hope to see you this coming Saturday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.
