MARCH MEETING CHANGE


Due to an unexpected family emergency, our March program has been cancelled. Cindi Rozycki, however, has come up with a wonderful idea for us. We will be making pillows and bags for women to use after breast cancer surgery. We will be setting up our normal meeting room with 5 or 6 stations where we can construct these items. They will be distributed to women needing them by

The pillows tuck under a woman's arm to help her lie comfortably after surgery. The bag is a simple draw-string bag to hold the pillow and anything else needed.

The pillows are 6" x 7" finished. The bags are 12" x 14" finished.

If everyone could bring a bag of polyfill to stuff the pillows, that would be a great help. It takes a lot more to stuff a pillow that we think until we start .

In addition, we will need the following items:

Sewing machines and/or sergers
Cutting mats
Rotary cutters
Rulers
Scissors
Extension cords
Pins

Cindi has already gotten enough ribbon for the bags and some cream colored thread for the machines. Cindi and Sue Price will be furnishing a lot of fabric, but if you have some bright, feminine fabrics in your stash, bring them along.. Cindi is bringing irons and pads for 2 ironing stations.

Please contact Cindi at 847-695-2258 (work) or 847-622-8256 (home) and let her know what you can bring. She will keep track of what is coming and what is needed.

See you all there on Monday!!!
