Welcome!
to the Olympia Chapter of the
American Sewing Guild
(ASG) serving the sewing enthusiasts
in Thurston, Pierce,
Lewis, and South King counties. We're part of a national, non-profit guild
of people who love to sew. We're here to learn and to share our love of sewing
with each other and others in our community. Drop by a
Neighborhood Group meeting to see
what we're about! Keep up with other members in the
Yahoo Group Forum.

1st Annual
Olympia Chapter
Fashion Show
"For the Love of Sewing"
Sew Expo - February 28, 2010 - 12:30 p.m.
|

| Excitement
and Anticipation are in the air!
We are
getting close to our first opportunity to showcase the sewing and fiber arts
skills of the Olympia Chapter of the American Sewing Guild at the the
premier sewing show in America - Sew Expo!. Olympia Chapter members
are invited (and encouraged) to submit up to 2 entries for the fashion show.
The categories are: Clothing, Home Dec, Quilts, Accessories,
Knit/Crochet and don't forget those Aprons. You can enter anything you
have made using any method - garment sewing, art to wear, quilts,
knitted/crocheted items.
If you aren't planning to enter an item in the show
but still want to participate, there are plenty of assistant openings
available. We need behind the scenes help with getting models dressed,
on stage at the right time, some make-up and hair assistance and calming the
nerves. We also need people out front to hand out brochures and answer questions about ASG.
Please email Millie James (majic482323@aol.com) if you are interested in
helping behind the scenes.
Everyone who wants to enter an item in the show
MUST complete an entry
form for each item. Get the form here in either
Word or
PDF. You must submit your
entry form by February 10, 2010.
If you can open the
Word document on your computer you can complete the form on your computer
and email it to Sue Langley (email address is on the form). If you don't have Word, or can't open the document on
your computer, the use a print-out of the PDF
file and send it in the mail.
This opportunity is a great way to showcase our chapter and gain new members.
With all the talent in our chapter we know this will be a great
event and a FUN time for us all.

To: All Dog
Bed Scrap Contributors:
From: Tammy Morris
Please
be advised that I am no longer making dog beds, or accepting scrap
fabric. Was a good idea, snowballed on me, and became overwhelming. I
have tried to convey I cannot do this anymore, but I feel I am not being
listened to.
There
are many winds of change coming to my husband and myself. Due to his
changing job, our changing lifestyle, and where we want me to go with my
sewing, I do not have the time to process dog beds.
If
someone else wants to take on this community sewing, I have piles of
whole material, and garbage cans of cut up material I can turn over.
Also, I do have some contact information of rescues that take these
items.
I
know some will be disappointed with the change of events, and my
commitments; however, as my husband and I are still young, change comes
with life. Please accept that I have done all I can at this time.
Thank
you.
