Gathering at the Go-Getters Senior Centre in Dryden the odd Saturday to sew has become habit forming! Our schedule of planned activities is now available here. See you there.
At our season wind up, several of our members brought their block of the month pieces for show and tell. Looking good!
This Saturday, Adeline Johnson will be showing different ways to use those selveges you might throw away.
Here are some of her samples.
Our Sewing Saturdays begin at 9 am and are held at the Go-getters Senior Centre in Dryden, ON. Participants pay $10 and bring a potluck dish to share. More details.
We have posted an album of photos of the works in progress at Nancy Bergman’s Landscapes class May 14th & 15th. You can see the students’ work here.

Our Sewing Saturday schedule for January through June has been fine tuned and finalized. The complete calendar is available on the events page our website. As our Sewing Saturday chair says,
If you really don’t want to do another full size quilt, any of the Workshops will teach you a technique that can be used to make what ever you want, from a pot holder to a king size quilt and everything in between.
There’s something for everyone! And we haven’t even mentioned the potluck lunch….mmmm!
