We briefly went over the next couple of meetings, which are as follows:
- June 20 - Community Service Sew, we're sewing up some pillow cases for the Ronald McDonald house. These are always lots of fun, everyone working collectively on a big project. There will be some door prizes, and if you have any additional door prizes you want to throw in, the more the merrier!
- July 18 - Shop hop! We're making a caravan of a few vehicles and going around to some shops in the area.
- August 15 - Open sew! Feel free to bring along any kind of sewing and hang out and sew the day away.
- September 19 - Upper Cumberland Quilt Festival in Algood, TN
- October 17 - Planning for 2016
- November 21 - Elections and Community Service Sew
- December 12 - Holiday Party (Second Saturday in December)
