Going Green making Shopping Bags

with

Julie Nodine

 

 

We will be going green and making our own SHOPPING BAGS with Julie Nodine.  The pattern is quick and easy and Julie says these bags are not designed to be beautiful, they are designed to be serviceable.  Plus you can get a 5 cent refund for using them.  I  will be making Christmas bags from the pattern for the Grandkids.  At the class I will bring two other variations of the pattern so we will have even more fun.  For lunch, let’s have a salad buffet.  Bring your favorite salad (potato, Jell-O, macaroni or what ever).  Sounds yummy doesn’t  it?

Pillow Cases

with Marlene Brudvig

NEWS ALERT;  CLASS WILL BE RESCHEDULED TO A LATER DATE

 

 

We will gussie up our décor with PILLOW CASES presented by Marlene Brudvig.  These will be the final touch for the Quilt you are making.  I make a basic case with the scraps from my quilts to store the quilt, but these deserve to be on the bed and be seen.  For lunch, let’s DO something PATRIOTIC.  Bring some kind of  ALL AMERICAN FOOD.  This should be fun and very tasty.  Let your taste buds go wild.  Sign up so you don’t miss out.
