Hexie Club - 1/1/19

Tuesday, 1/1/19 - New Year's Day Party

"They" say that what you do on New Year's Day is what you will do all year. It's the perfect excuse to spend the day sewing hexies!! 

The store is closed but Sarah has the key! She'll arrive at noon and we can sew till we we can't see straight anymore. Feel free to wear your PJs or comfy clothes.

• To the best of my  knowledge, I believe everyone is caught up on birthday swaps. Please speak up if you are missing any of the colors listed on last month's post.

• LeftRight Game -  A new year means a new set of FQs for our monthly swap - bring either a "stone" or a "flower"
• January is the Garnet and Carnation or Snowdrop

• 2019 Spring UFO challenge  - I don't know about anyone else but I have enjoyed picking a UFO to work on each "semester" so I'll be doing it again this spring, even if it is the same project. If anyone else wants to join in, please bring your project to the NYD party for show-n-tell.

• The second set of block directions for our Underground Railroad BOM were handed out at the December meeting. Is your block done yet? 

• And last but not least, what's a party without food??!! Please let me know what you'll be bringing and I'll add it to the list:

Agnes - appetizer, maybe cheese & crackers

Ann - 

Barb - 

Carol - chips/dip, dessert
