Member Picnic
TIme: 5:30 pm
Location: Monroeville Park
We will meet in person for a picnic in Monroeville Park. Directions will be sent out closer to the date. Bring your own food. The Guild will provide water and dessert. Bring any show and tell. The incoming president and secretary will be sworn in.
PIN CUSHION EXCHANGE: At the picnic there will be a pin cushion exchange between those members who have decided to make a pin cushion. There are so many creative patterns and ideas available. Make a pin cushion and bring to the picnic. You will be assigned a number and we will then draw numbers to call up makers. When your number is called you can choose a bag containing a pin cushion. It will be lots of fun to make one and just as much fun to see whose cushion you get. Start sewing now!
