UPCOMING EVENTS:

Chapter Meeting—February 8 from 2 pm to 4 pm at Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 8600 Academy Road NE, Albuquerque NM 87111. We will meet in Room 403 of the Adult Education Building. We will be making “Doo Dahs” for Fiber Arts Fiesta at this meeting, so bring a machine, sewing supplies, etc. for some community sewing. What are Doo Dahs, you ask? Well, they are small, hand crafted items. For each $5.00 given, the donor can select a Doo Dah as a “thank you”. This year’s non-profit is Watermelon Mountain Ranch, New Mexico’s largest no-kill animal shelter.

Trading Post

Our hosts at Heights Cumberland Presbyterian have OK’d the return of the Trading Post, which was popular with our chapter before we started meeting at retailers…and COVID. So, we have started it up again at our quarterly general meetings:

• Bring your gently used sewing supplies (for example, fabrics, notions, patterns) and tools to the general meeting and leave on the Trading Post table.
• Pick the items you’d like.
• Cash donations are appreciated and can be left in a box on the table.
• Any items left at the end of the meeting will be donated.
