February 2007 Sew Day

Who attended:	Florence, Karen, Margaret, Dyna, Adrian, Ann, Megan, Rob, & MaryAnn

There were no actual pictures this time except for what we took to create a “how-to” booklet for newbies at our sew days. We did, however, plan that our next monthly sew day will be March 10th. We’re hoping to keep them around the 2nd weekend each month so they don’t interfere with meetups at the end of the month.
Total Bedding Count:	We only completed a few pieces of bedding, but we wanted to have something already started for next time…so we started a lot of different pieces. I didn’t get any kind of count…but there was a ton!
