Mrs. Anderson opened the meeting with a poem she read from the Second reader, called September. Mrs. Hunking led in worship, with an opening reading and prayer, and referred to the scripture telling about the use of salt and its seasoning. She told stories she had heard which told us we need to show our Christianity by our actions. Barbara Harper reported on the profit made from the bazaar that was held on Sept. 15 and it was agreed that we would give $500 each to the FoodGrains Bank, the church and the UCW. She thanked everyone for all their help that day. Mrs. Harper also asked to be relieved of the treasurer’s position in the new year, so we would appreciate anyone who could take over those responsibilities. Muriel Coultes showed the DVD of the 50th UCW Anniversary Celebrations that were held in Ancaster in July, and Nancy Jardin displayed several angel figurines and spoke of her personal belief in Angels and played the music, “I believe there are angels among us”. Angels are messengers of God – and almost everyone has had that “Ah ha” moment when something has happened and there is no reason for it. The next meeting will be at the home of Donna Shaw on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Following the benediction and grace, Barbara Harper and Freda Scott served lunch and a social time followed.

The members spread out and began to work on their ongoing projects. If members were done, they did their samples. They took a break to do roll call which asked members to show one of their samples and where it would be on a garment. Members showed their darts, notching, clipping, finished seams, hems or fasteners and explained the purpose. Then Cathy Drennan handed out a sewing quiz and members worked in pairs to answer the questions. It was a nice review of everything the members learned. Members broke off again to sew. The projects included many pajama shorts, a pillow case, a pencil case, a dress, a gym bag, an apron and a laptop case. All of these projects provided members with practise sewing and will be used by the members. The meeting ended with a snack and the 4-H motto. For achievement, the club went to Julie Redmond’s home on Aug. 29. She owns her own business and makes draperies and does alterations for clients. She showed the members her workshop in the basement. She demonstrated how to make a spaghetti strap and how to make a pillow case with piping. She told the members a few tricks to do when sewing. The members got watch her use a serger and a needle felting machine. Then Julie offered some of her old material sample books to take home for future projects. President Reba Jefferson thanked Julie for sharing her knowledge with the club. Perhaps she even inspired a career in sewing for some members. Books were due on Sept. 13 with one project for junior members and two sewing projects for senior members. Members would like to thank the leaders for all of their patience and advice, as they could not have completed their projects without them. 4-H Sewing Club finish projects Dear Loyal Donors, THANK YOU!
