January 9th Meeting Reminder

Hi Everyone:

HAPPY NEW YEAR - and welcome back to those we haven't seen in awhile!

Please bring a batch of cookies to send to IRAQ! Check out the sidebar for other important things to remember for the meeting.

As I mentioned in e-mail - - here come some details for Friday night! We will be decorating a pot for rooted plants, learning how to pot it (and taking materials home to do it there - plants too tender to take outside this time of year!) and start a Macreme Plant Hanger. We will work on the plant hanger over the next several meetings. IF there is time, we can also begin our pin-cushions. The 2nd meeting of January will be a busy meeting - continuing to work on these projects! If you're unable to attend this Friday - try to set up a date with Mrs. M or Mrs. D to get started!

I have two patterns to use for the Macreme hangers. One a TRUE macreme - and another more of a knotting project for those that can't or don't want to get into macrame. This easier project will be done in 1-2 meetings. Try to have an idea of which project you want to do on Friday - and we'll divide the Thrills & Skillsers into two project areas!

Each of the projects takes about 50 yards of jute. We are asking each member to bring $3 extra dues to offset the cost of these materials, the pots and potting soil. Thanks. These are all items that can be individually judged at the Schagitoke Fair in August - - the plant, the pot, the hanger... If completed and entered, you are very likely to WIN your material cost back!
