I would like to let parent’s know, I am now teaching children Sewing & Quilting after school. There is a $5.00 fee for material’s each lesson.  Of Course, when making quilts student’s must pay for their fabric.  I have 3 sewing machines setup waiting to sew on.

The bus drops the student’s off at my home with a parent’s note and the parent’s pick them up at 5 pm..

I like to start off by making a Cup Organizer for the tools & pot holder for their first quilting.  It is wonderful to share good things.  Dorthy Moses showed me the Cup Organizer.

From the Post Star
"Even Minerva-Newcomb, located in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, was able to host a softball game — on March 30. Mountaineers coach Bruce McGinn said that had never happened to his knowledge for a program that generally is not able to get on a field before mid-April. M-N defeated Elizabethtown-Westport 19-0 in the season-opening game."


Congratulations
Caleb Winter was named to the Post Star's MVAC/CVAC/Suburban Council/Western Athletic Conference Basketball All-Star team. Jordan Bush, Isabelle Bureau and Danielle McNally were named for the girl's team. Jordan was named the MVP of the MVAC conference.
