Announcements

  • Going out of business sale invite…

    Attention:

    Cynthia Roth, retired owner of Cynthia’s Yarn shop in Gainesville, will be at the Lake Kiowa lodge on October 7th after our Bee meeting with some bargains from her left-over inventory..  She will have fabric priced under cost, notions 1/2 price, and yarn “fill a bag” priced.  It should be great!   If you would like to come check out her inventory of bargains, please let me know and I will call you into the guard.  (Lake Kiowa is gated and you will need a pass to get in. Sorry)

    Cash or check only.  Please don’t plan to be there until about 7:20 so that we have time to finish our business meeting before we shop with Cynthia. We will ask you to wait in the lobby of the lodge until we are done. Then we will all shop together.
    Text me at 972-979-0341 for a pass at least one day in advance.

    Thanks,

    Debbie Heath

  • Kids Summer Sewing 2024

    Summer sewing sessions at Boys & Girls Club are scheduled for June 17-20 and July 8-11, 2024. Morning classes are 9:00-12:00. There will also be a workday for volunteers on June 5. The children are excited to learn and/or advance their skills at machine and hand sewing. The first day project is a star shaped pillow. Then they will advance to completing a small quilt from 10-inch squares with a border, stitched together with batting and backing, turned and hand tied. Children are third grade or older.

    Volunteers are needed to guide the learners to complete their projects. Class is limited in number based on the volunteers available.
