Ozark Foothills Girls are Amazing!!

Here we are all stitching up a storm at our hostess Diana's home on Saturday, June 6. We had lots of fun and accomplished a lot! We did not get finished, but we are well on the way. Here are pictures of those that were hard at work so that everyone will have a fabulous favor at their place setting during lunch one day at the national SAGA convention. Thank you Diana for putting up with us. We enjoyed the working area and the picnic overlooking your beautiful vegetable garden.

Here is Tawana sewing on buttons, wonder if she dreamed of sewing buttons that night. She sure did a lot of them.

Here is Joan doing some fine assembly work. The favors have been creatively warped for now so as not to give away the surprise of the great little gift from OFC. If you want to see what we are doing, come join the fun at our next workday. We really need your help!

Sandy is just amazing at keeping track of all the favors. The empty seat next to Sandy belongs to the photographer. Barbara was sewing our special labels on the favors.

Our hostess cutting a few corners!

Carol spent a lot of time on her knees to cut out about 150 pieces.

Convention Favor Work Day

Don't forget that we will be meeting at Diana's house for a work day at 10 am Saturday June 6. We will continue working on the table favors for the national SAGA convention. We can probably get most of the favors finished if we have enough workers. You can bring your favorite salad or dessert. Scissors, and needles will be needed by all who attend. If you are unable to attend, please ask how you can help with the finishing. This is a large effort and the more we have working on it will make it easier to complete. Lipstick alert...photos will be taken...........

It's a Favor Sweatshop!

How many more?

Precision sewing from this team.....

The favors are well under way. The work was easy and we were able to catch up with our visiting while working. Here are some photos of the action. Tawana, Cheryl, and Bedetta were stitching them on the machine. Debbie put her quilting expertise to work to cut out the pieces at record speed. Gluing, stitching, stacking, cutting, it all went like clockwork. Sandy kept everyone supplied with new stacks of parts and kept the quality under control. Tawana filled us in on her recent trip to Spain while stitching away. Barbara brought all the labels ready to stitch on, and that helped to get more done during this session. Our next workday will be at Diana's house on June 6. Don't miss out on the fun. We could sure use your help.

Tuesday's SAGA meeting

For the program on Tuesday night:

Come and join us as we work on the table favors for SAGA Convention. Barb and
Bedetta are collecting all the materials so members don't have to bring anything. We'll be gluing the beads on the picks and deciding what we want to do for a holder.

See you Tuesday!
