7. 3 to 4 Day Projects

8. Recovering Yep, we can even help update those chairs and stools to match your décor! Many of the chairs, just flip them over and remove the screws holding the seat in place, so you only have to bring the seats! (Hint: number the chair and the seat so you match them up again.) Depending on the design you may have to bring the stool with you. Full recovering like on the rocker will take more time, but is easy to do. Just bring the cushions.

9. Small Throw or Wall Hanging Wall hangings can be any size, shape or even framed. Small throws are usually 60 x 72. What about those beautiful scarves as a wall hanging! Let your imagination go!

10. Art & Craft Projects Bring what you are working on and just enjoy the company!

11. Quilts Sure, some quilts can take months or even years, but a simple pattern like the Nine patch can go together in a few days. Or, what about that quilt top in your “cedar chest” that just needs to be put together? Just see all the room we will have! Look Ma, no grey!

12. August 15-19 We will have lots of table space, outlets and most of the hardware you will need to create these projects (or yours) We will have 5 sewing machines, 2 sergers, irons, staple guns, glue guns, rotary cutting tools and of course all the other utensils and best of all – access to bunches of craft or fabric stores. (Bring your fabric scraps to mix, match and share to create the “scrap” ideas.) Bring any “I wish I could” or half-formed ideas to get input from the group! Oh! I forgot the picture of the memories quilt, we will have access to printers that can print on fabric if you would like to create a fabric project with photos. Pillows or framed art? On Monday the 15th arrive anytime around noon. Once everybody is here we will caravan down to the school and unload. We will share our project ideas while we eat lunch, go through the fabric scraps, create our lists and head off to the stores to get necessary supplies. (Stores are open until 9 so we will have plenty of time to really go through our ideas and available supplies.) Then we will be ready to start on Tuesday morning. (Food responsibilities will be hashed out and divided up later.) Airport is easy! Mail your project ahead, fly in and join us as it fits your schedule! Come for a couple of days or the week!
