Tomorrow is...

**Missy** · 09-07-2005, 12:36 AM

My first "Blankets for Babies" small group at church. I started it up myself (talk about scary!!) and tomorrow is the first day! I have made up six blankets to kick off the groups mission (To make blankets to donate to a local pregnancy and birth center). The plan is to have ladies make blankes is whatever manner they wish; sewn, crochet, knit, quilted, whatever.Wish me luck that there is a good turn out and that it all goes smoothly.

Later in the month I will be heading up a quilting group at church too. For whatever skill level from beginner to advanced. That will be fun. I am by no means a master, but I can share what i have learned from my Grammie. She has been a wonderful teacher to me. and i can't wait to pass on what she taught me.

Good luck with your group, Missy. I think it'll be great.

Good luck Missy and great idea--I'm always terrified of doing new things!! But I'm sure you will be bragging about how well it went later <<>

Sounds like fun Missy, and I'm sure you will have a great time! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Your doing great things Missy, those ladies are going to learn so much from you and that cause is a wonderful one. I can just about hear all the talking & laugher you ladies are going to be doing. Have fun and keep us updated!

Aww what an awesome idea, and kudos to you for starting the group yourself!

Keep us posted on how it goes...I'm sure all will go smoothly, and you'll have a great time!

Wow! I am very impressed

I am sure you will get a buzz from passing on your skills, I wish I could sew

The only thing I am likely to pass on at the moment is germs

Fingers crossed for a fun and productive day for you

Missy that is wonderful. Can't wait to hear how it goes. It takes great courage to step out and start something new. Kuddos to you.

What a great idea! Have a good time (I'm sure you will!)

**Missy** · 09-07-2005, 02:29 PM

no bragging, noone came

Don't give up, try again Missy. Maybe they just need another reminder. Things are kind of busy starting school & all. When the cooler weather comes they should come.

Dont give up. It is a worthwhile project to help others. I am sure as the fall progresses people will come. Maybe try and get some flyers or posters up for it! If you were in my area, I would sure come!
