Hey all y'all living in the Twin Cities area and areas not too far from here!

There a quite a few of us on the Board who would like to get together for scheduled open sewing times once a month.

If you are interested, reply back to this thread (and tell where you live)and we will work something out - probably won't happen until after school starts back up again, but we will get it scheduled so we can meet each other and have fun sewing!!

So, here is my info - Stephanie from Maple Grove

:!: :D

And I'll be the first Reply! I'm more than happy to help organize this! If people know what days do or don't work for them, please include it! I know Tuesday nights don't work for me!

good idea about listing what works and doesn't work.

Also, list if you are available during the day or only at night or only on weekends.

Due to the fact that I am a hockeymom, I cannot commit to any particular night or weekend during the school year since hockey is so time consuming. Since we will meet probably once a month, that may work out better than more frequently.

I am available during the day!

I'm available evenings

Inver Grove Heights - this is southeast of St. Paul

Hi Bear! It's been a while since we've "chatted"!

How are you?

:D

I'm available days or evenings, weekends during fall and winter.

I live in PA but wanted to tell you that I have a bucket list and the Twin Cities is one of the places on it. If I ever get there, I'll join your group.

Mimee,

when you come this way, plan a week! Twin Cities are great, but you need to head "up north" too - and toward southern MN too! This is a beautiful state!

Thank you, mamatobugboo, it would be a dream vacation.

I grew up in Brooklyn Park, back when it was barely considered a suburb, and attended high school in Anoka (which was way out beyond nowhere.)

My family is still all there - Robbinsdale, Crystal, Zimmerman, Monticello...

I hope you establish a nice group. Maybe someday I will get to meet you.

I'm only here during the summer -- and a few weeks in December; but I'd like to be a part of your group when I'm here. I'm available any time but would prefer days.

OK, so I will take this in hand! :lol: Would people be interested/available to do either a late afternoon or evening once a week. I was thinking either Wednesday or Thursday. I thought we could meet the fourth Wed/Thur of the month. Let me know.

We can figure out someplace kind of central to meet, maybe a library where we can get a room. I'm always wondering and second guessing my own work so having people to bounce ideas off of would be fabulous.

I live in Hopkins. Keep me informed.

Like I said, I'd like to be included when I'm there during summer months. If everyone can't meet once a week, maybe once a month, kind of like a guild. Just a thought. Keep me informed as to what you girls are doing.

Another thought would be to let someone host it each time, wherever they would choose -- maybe their church or their basement, etc. It could move around so that it wouldn't always be a long drive for someone.

I would love to do this. I would prefer days or a weekend. Some of us may have to drive a distance. I live in SW Minnesota. Hi from Sleepy Eye.
