17 ladies attended today. Next week we can't meet in the community room as they will be setting up for the annual book sale. So instead, we're going out to lunch. We will be meeting at 12:30 at the Cat's Meow on Route 155. Fran says they have a great lobster roll for $9.99. I'll call ahead and warn them that we're coming. Today Marie brought in her braided rug to show us how it's done. I brought in a quilt top to sandwich and Kathy Olsen brought in a completed lap quilt. MaryAnn, Marie and I sewed some more mile-a-minute blocks. I think we have enough now to make a quilt. We're really going to town on these lap quilts! The seniors of New Scotland will stay warm this winter! Diana from the Gloversville Sewing Center was supposed to come to teach us to use our machines but she forgot. Instead she's coming on Nov. 6. Hopefully any problems we have with them will show up by then and we can show her and get help.

Does your group welcome visitors with questions??? I volunteered to coordinate a quilt project at our library and I've never quilted in my life? I'd love to join you at the Cat's Meow.
