Welcome

January 29th - the beginning of what Jones Chapel UMC calls a small group. This group of ladies started with laughter and fun. Oh and the "it feels like Christmas" excitement of unpacking and sorting some 11 large garbage bags of donated fabric.

Lillie, Melanie and Naomi inspect the goodies.

Naomi and Teresa A (aka MaggieGrace) discuss the nightgown pulled from those donations - Teresa is modeling it and yes it went home with her.

Lucille and Fran

Suzette and Teresa J.

Vera and Teresa J. - Miss Vera is our expert and the leader of this pack.

Suzette and Naomi - Naomi is also an expert

Melanie and Sharon

Look at all the goodness.

It was decided that we will have a lesson in cutting and begin stitching at the next meeting. Project Safe - a support agency for battered women and children will be the recipient of our first faltering efforts. Everyone took things home to wash and iron to have ready for the next meeting. We packed up the remainder that wee will keep and will take it home a little at a time for laundry and ironing.

Teresa A. took the unusable stuff (for quilting) still very usable for other things and will donate those 5 bags to the Project Safe thrift store, continuing to support the agency we have selected.

A wonderful night of fun and fellowship.

I hope you will pray for this small group as we begin an adventure together.

Have a wonderful week.

NEXT MEETING FEBRUARY 17, 2009. 6:30pm -- FLC @ JONES CHAPEL UMC.
