My term as President started in mid-September, I blinked and now it is mid-November. This week I spent Monday organizing changes to our signing authority at the bank. Tuesday was day group – the smARTies met to reveal their purple challenge, a couple of sewers were busy making donation Christmas stockings at their machines, and many of the HANDfuls were working on their embroidery. I made some progress on my Italian knotted border stitch, although guild business kept interfering – how many new books should we buy, someone not receiving the email updates, and etc. Wednesday was evening group. I did not know that the ball on a seam ripper, when placed below the seam line, would protect the fabric and allow the seam ripper to move quickly and easily through the problem seam. After the demos and the Show and Share, the elves settled at their machines to work on Christmas stockings. Today (Thursday) I am writing communications for the blog and newsletter, and this afternoon will collect the final signatures for the bank. My thanks to all the guild members for their enthusiasm, support, and critical thinking as we pursue our passion for fabric.
