What's new
A Meeting
There will be a Guild meeting on Saturday 20th October. Don't forget to wear your NOTY name tag to go in the competition for a delightful prize.This meeting will feature trading tables.
Any NOTYQ members are welcome to set themselves up a stall. All we ask is a donation to the Guild. Good excuse to share some of those fabrics and gadgets that seemed like such a good idea when you bought them; or to clean out your sewing room to make more room for new purchases,
or make some money on your odds and ends - to spend on more fabric!!!
Give Pam Bores a call to book your table. Her phone number is in the newsletter.
A Newsletter
And there is another wonderful newsletter produced by fabulous Glenda. They just keep getting better and better. Missed your copy? You can read it HEREWednesday, 17 October 2012
This month's Homespun...
...features a project by our very own NOTY member, Claire Gee of Matching Pegs.
Congratulations to Claire on producing a brilliant teepee. I'll certainly be making a couple for my grandkids.
