Hello Everyone!

I am posting this invite to you to be a part of the Scrappy Stitchers. We are a group of quilters (all levels of knowledge) who enjoy getting together to work on UFOs or new creations in the environment of sharing, learning and friendship. All are welcome and hope you will come!! We are from all around the Findlay, OH area.

We will be gathering to sew on the second Saturday of each month from May through November in 2013. We will be scheduling 2014 dates for the Liberty Township house when the calendar comes out in November 2013.

For May 11 and June 8, we will be meeting at the Houcktown United Methodist Church at 15930 County Road 8, Houcktown, OH. We will meet from 8 am -5 pm on these days. The cost for this location will be a donation to the church and leaving the facility in the condition that we found it. No May or June dates for 2013 were available at Liberty Township house.

For July 13, August 10, September 14, October 12 and November 9, we will be meeting at the Liberty Township House at 9975 Twp Rd 89, Findlay, OH 45840. We will meet from 7:30 am -9 pm on these days. the Cost is $30 for the facility and it will be spilt among everyone attending that day. We have paid for this facility in advance for these 5 days. We also need to leave this facility in the condition that we found it.

December will be a potluck at Nancy Kirkwood's to show off our Christmas Block Challenge (details of this challenge in a previous post) quilt tops. More details on this at a later date.

We will have tables and chairs at both facilities. Be prepared to share a table depending on how many show up. You will need to bring a power bar and/or extension cords, so everyone will be able to plug in for power. We will have irons and ironing boards for everyone's use. We will also try to have several cutting areas set up for anyone needing to do any cutting. Depending on how you like your lighting, you may wish to bring an extra portable light for sewing.

The Houcktown Church has a sink, fridge and microwave, so bring your own drinks, snacks and lunch for the day. You have two grocery stores (Arlington and Mt. Blanchard), two dairy bars in Arlington and Mt. Blanchard) and a convenience store at the edge of Mt. Blanchard for anyone wishing to run somewhere and get something.

The Liberty Township house has a microwave and a fridge and we have use of them while there. Again bring your own drinks, snacks and lunch or you can run to anything you like in Findlay, since we are off St. Rt. 224.

I have sent an email to those I know that are interested in being a part of this group. Please feel free to email me at tltreads@aol.com or tltreads52@gmail.com with any questions you may have.

Our first workshop May 11 was a great time. Seven of us showed up for a fun day of sewing and sharing.  Our next Scrappy Stitchers workshop is June 8 at the Houchtown Church so come join us for another fun day of sewing!!!
