New car 'flow' pattern at the church. There are signs posted. This new flow of automotive traffic is to help the school manage drop off / pick up during the school year.
Old Business:
We enjoyed two great summer workshops -
June - creation of a dress using Children's Corner's 'Lee'
July - creation of colorful felt pincushions
SAGA raffle basket -
We have a wonderful array of items for the raffle basket, including a fabulous pleater stand /thread box made and donated by the husband of a member.
Thank you all for helping make our basket donation a success. Mary will wrap everything up and take it to convention.
New Business:
There was discussion about the reduction of the guild's library. Although we do not have the best shopping in Austin, with the internet we have better-than-ever access to patterns and books. With this in mind we will offer no longer needed items for sale as our January 2020 program. (More information will be sent in an email). We will keep a few items for checkout.

Mary shared her completed Lee dress and her pincushion that she completed from the summer workshops.
Deanna - share a super cute make-up bag created from a place mat!
Marguerite and Sabitha both shared their completely stitched pincushions.

A fun felt needle minder.
