April 2025 Meeting

• Our meeting for April 2025 was held at Robyn Chamberlain's home. She had us bring some of our UFO's UnFinished Objects
•  We had to explain: 
• why we stopped working on them, 
• when we had started them,
•  if we were ever going to finish them, 
• and how many times we had started, stopped and started again, still left unfinished. 

It was lots of fun. Some had fabric all cut out and then left, some brought theirs to give away for someone else to complete and others had complete tops and had left their project at that point. Robyn gave out prizes to people who fit the above categories!  Some of the UFO showing was pretty entertaining! We laughed a lot!

Thank you Robyn and Caren for the delicious lunch.
