| November 2025 |
Can you believe it? I am being proactive and working on this newsletter ahead of the deadline. With the extra hour we are getting back on Sunday morning and the fact that it is our 40th wedding anniversary, I really don't want to have to have this hanging over my head.
Please take a moment to pat yourself on the back. Together we have done some amazing work. Donations this year are through the roof....
Stockings are over 2,000. We have sent them as follows,1,000 for the military 425 for Meals on Wheels in Lee and Collier Counties315 for foster children in our area224 for foster children in Ohio (were we got Franklin and Jarvas)100 for Foster Village in Cape Coral and Naples25 for orphans in LeHighThis list does not include the 425 placemats for Meals on Wheels, the numerous pillowcases and quilts and stuffed animals donated earlier in the year.
I am so grateful for all of the assistance for so many of you. As they say "Many hands make light work."Thank you sew much!We have a several classes on the calendar for November. -Slippers on Saturday, November 22 starting at 10:30.

Just a reminder, we do have open sew on Thursday evening. People start arriving anytime after 3:30. I will kick you out at 8! There is no project, just bring whatever you would like to work on. It might even give you time to finish up a holiday project or two without prying eyes.Friday is "A Needle Pulling Thread" open sew, by hand only. Sashiko, embroidery knitting, crochet, binding or hand quilting are all possibilities. No need to reserve your space, just show up.
We are looking at the calendar to schedule our holiday hours. We will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday, November 26 and 27. In December we are closing on Saturday, December 20 until Friday, January 2, 2026.So, we are still accepting quilts to be longarmed that will be ready before Christmas.
