Meetings are held the 4th Tues of the month (Sept-June) @
Tolland Fire Training Center on 191 Merrow Rd
(Route 195),
just 1/2 mile south of Rte. 84 off Exit 68, Tolland. We
start our business meeting promptly at 7 PM.
A few meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday, but are not
confirmed. Please email Jean Carver above if there are any
questions.
Guests are welcome. We hope to see you in
Tolland. We do serve snacks,
but bring your own beverage.
Our community
service project for this year will be quilts for the
Hole-In-The-Wall Gang Camp. We will also be having a
monthly Strip Swap, exchanging 2½" strips in a themed
color scheme.

October meeting will
involve a Bag Share & Show. Members will bring in any
bags or totes they have made along with the pattern
information – name, where purchased, etc. Photos will be
taken of the bags and will be compiled into a “Bunches of
Bags” book for each member along with the pattern
information. The books will be distributed at a future
meeting. It’s a great way to remember all those cute bags
our members bring in for show and tell.
*
November will be our
exciting Live Auction. Members are asked to bring in
two new auction items, either handmade or purchased. It’s a
fun and crazy night and guests are always encouraged to
attend.
*
Mid November will also be
Tolland’s first “No Frills Retreat” at Cape Cod.
Members are already looking forward to getting away for a
long weekend of sewing.
