2130.0. "Digital Sewing Group anyone?" by XANADU::CHIASSON () Fri Feb 14 1997 12:14

    
    Are there any Digital Quilting or Sewing groups?  
    If not, is there any interest to start one?
    
    I love to sew, but have very little time at home to do so.
    I like to take sewing classes every once in a while just to get out, 
    and get the time to sew. 
    
    If there is an interest, maybe we could schedule an after hours 
    conference room to gather interested parties?  I work in ZK - Nashua.
    Is anyone interested in starting our own Guild?

	I'd be intersted, but after hours would be a problem if meeting very regularly. Lunchtimes would be great! Irene

	I work in ZKO too, would certainly be interested in joining you. I am planning to put together a quilt with pieces decorated by a group of children, and have never done anything like this before... -Pradnya-
2130.3	How about March?	XANADU::CHIASSON	`Wed Feb 19 1997 12:47`	34
	The reason I indicated after hours, is because that would give us more time for our projects. I find only an hour to be too short to really get going. Plus, we have sewing machines to set up and cutting spaces to spread out. Maybe would could start off meeting twice a month to see how it goes, and if there is much interest. Does anyone have a preferred date or day of the week? I think conference rooms should be pretty abundant after hours -- How about a first meeting some time in March? If there is more interest, could the persons replying to this note please indicate what they would like to work on and/or what they would like to learn? My interests include quilting, heirloom sewing, and childrens clothing. I have about a dozen projects open and wouldn't mind finishing up a few -- before staring new ones that is ... How about for a first meeting, we plan a fabric swap. If you are like me, you have tons of "I like it but I'm not sure what I would use it for" fabric. If everyone could bring in 1 yard of fabric that they would like to swap, we could cut it into fat quarters, and come home with 4 fabric quarters to get starting on a piecing project. Any interest?

2130.4	I am interested but...	GLRMAI::BRENNA	`Thu Feb 20 1997 13:19`	6
	I would love to join in an afterhours group. I'm in TAY and 5 months pregnant. By the time 5:00 comes along, I'm pooped but after my baby is born, perhaps I will be able to make it after hours in ZKO somewhere. Diane
2130.5	Meeting will be Apr. 8th	XANADU::CHIASSON	`Fri Mar 28 1997 10:31`	13
	I have a couple of interested people in getting together, so lets give it a try. How about April 8th after hours. I will set up a conference room, and post it in a follow up note. This would be a good time to get those spring projects out. I just finished a couple of Easter dresses for my daughters. I'm ready to get going on something new and fun ... Karen
2130.6	First meeting on Tues. Apr 8th.	XANADU::CHIASSON	`Fri Apr 04 1997 14:24`	17
	The first meeting will be April 8th - after hours. Nashua Facility - Spit Brook Rd. ZK01 main lobby. I have booked the Mauchly & Echert Conference room. This conference room is down the corridor to you left when you enter the lobby. Lets get started around 5:30. If you have finished projects you want to share -- please bring them. I look forward to meeting you on Tuesday, Apr. 8th. See you then, Karen
