Potluck Update
Good news! We have now secured an alternate location for Monday’s
Potluck Party. The new location is the West Side United Church Hall in
Pentz, between Bridgewater and LaHave. Some of you may already be
familiar with the hall as it is the location of the Coastal Quilters
Bee.
To get to the hall, travel south from Bridgewater, towards
Pleasantville, on Highway 331. It is immediately after the Pentz
Elementary School and is civic #2702. See you on Monday!
Doors open at 12:30 p.m., meeting 1-3pm
Fat Quarter Draw: Theme for December Neutrals. The more you bring, the better your chances are of winning.
Program: Holiday Meeting and Potluck
For your potluck contribution, the choice is yours. Your dish can be hot, cold, an appetizer, main course, or dessert (remember to bring a serving utensil). You will have the opportunity to reheat your dish and there will be outlets for crockpots. Please make up a label with the name of your dish, country of origin (if known), and a list of ingredients, for people with food sensitivities. As always, remember to bring your own mug/cup, dishes, and cutlery as well as a bag in which to take home your dirty dishes.
We will be collecting donations for the local food bank, so please bring along a non-persishable food item or consider making a monetary donation.
If you are taking part in either the Ornament Exchange and/or the Mug Rug Exchange, remember to pack those as well. These exchanges are entirely voluntary. If you want to participate in the Mug Rug Exchange, you will make one mug rug but it does not have to be a Christmas/holiday theme. You can decide to use any fabric so that it can be used year-round. A mug rug is larger than a coaster but smaller than a place mat. It can be square, rectangular, circular, etc. Please roll your mug rug up like a sausage and tie it with a ribbon or string. Attach a small piece of paper with your name so that we will know who made it.
With regards to the Ornament Exchange, your ornament can be made either by yourself or someone else, but it must be handmade.
Sew & Tell: No sew and tell
