LET'S HAVE A PARTY!
Mark
your calendar cuz we are gonna have a party on December 1st instead of a
bee! That's right... a party! Volunteers are invited but sewing
machines are NOT. We've worked hard all year and we deserve a party.
This will be a potluck party. If you're new to Peace by Piece
you need to know our potlucks do not require a fuzzy sign-up sheet.
All ya gotta do is bring a favorite dish to share.
We are planning some FUN things so stay tuned for more info.
AN UPDATE
Last
month I shared information about our friend, Nancy Blackburn, who passed
away and left many of her quilting room possessions to us. Her
instructions were followed on what to do with her quilting stuff. Her
goal was for us to raise money.
Several things were added to our raffle collection for future raffles.
The biggest instruction Nancy left was concerning her quilting
machine. It was also to be used to raise money either by selling
or raffling. Since Nancy wanted us to raise as much money as possible,
selling was the best way to do that. She also stipulated that if we
were going to sell it, it was to be first offered to a gal, Laura, she had
known for years. So that's what I did and Laura did buy the machine.

At our September bee a free table was set up with everything we could not use to raise money. Volunteers perused the table well and very few items were left to be donated.
