Scraps and Skeins donation bin at Membership Meetings

 Your  leadership voted to begin a new tradition at our face-to-face meetings. We’ll have a basket for you to place fabric, books, tools, and more for donation in the Guild’s name to our favorite (and local) creative reuse sewing center, Scraps and Skeins. We’ll deliver it for you.

Binders are available for pick up for Karen P.

 Bobbie Muscarella announced that QBs will start meeting on Tuesdays at the State College Evangelical Free Church, 1243 Blue Course Drive. I will plan to be there for the next 2 Tuesdays (6/29) from 10:00 - 12:00 and (7/6) from 9:30-11:15 if you would like to pick up your binder.

For those of you who haven’t paid, please bring a $30 check or cash.

If neither of those pickup opportunities work for you, let me know when you will be shopping along North Atherton, like at Walmart, Target, Giant, Weis, Trader Joe’s, or Wegman’s.

I live close by and I can plan to meet you in a parking lot or you can come by my house in Overlook Heights.

Also, I will bring any remaining binders to the next CPQG meeting at Orchard Park on Tuesday, July 13.

.,Questions or comments, or to set up a time for pickup, please email Karen,
