Charity Work Today

Okay, our Aurora Quilters group met today and we serged/sewed various sets of PJs and nightshirts that one of our members while housebound (hopefully temporarily) has so graciously cut out for us as a "jumpstart". Gosh this sometimes very noisy group sure was quiet when we were a stitchin and concentratin on our projects!!!





Dianne (who had to leave early) continued to cut out while others stitched away and we've found out this worked well with someone doing the serger part and then the finishing was done by a partner with a sewing machine.

Something we'll have to keep in mind for next time around - as it was suggested to do this assembly line wise but with various sizes and mixed colours I dreaded that scenario and keboshed it. Considering the limited time we had we did complete 7 sets and 2 nightshirts and have 7 sets out with members for finishing and 4 sets in the cupboard for the next meeting to finish off. Not bad I say for eleven ladies and not all stayed to the bitter end.

Thank you for including me even though I had to leave early. The group of ladies that was there did a great job. Thanks Faye for the jump start.
