Bowl Cozy - You will need 2 - 10” squares of fabrics (same or coordinating).
Also, 2 - 9 ½ squares of regular cotton batting.

Bring your sewing machine and walking foot, a pressing mat/small iron, an extension cord and any personal sewing belongings needed to sew… including a pencil, a cutting mat and ruler (6” x 14” or bigger), a rotary cutter and fine pointy scissors, a light, *a seat cushion or pillow to sit on* and anything
else you think you might need!
Enjoy a day of SEWING with guild members AND learn how to make a few “SMALL PROJECTS”, too!
Also, LUNCH and DOOR PRIZES to round out our day! We always have a lot of FUN when we get together with friends who “LOVE TO SEW”! These projects are quick and easy to make, so bring “extra” fabric/materials, etc., if you think you would like to make more than one! There may be “extra” free time to sew in the afternoon, so bring another project of your own to work on til 3!
We will also have a table set up for “FREE” stuff! If you have quilting/sewing books/supplies/fabrics, etc., that you would like to offer up for free, please bring them to the mini-retreat!
