28 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2023 | We're ready to enjoy the fall weather with all the quilters in Sun Lakes. Join us as we pass around our Round Robin bags and add borders to wall hangings. We're getting ready for our Veterans quilts to be finished and gifted. We meet in the Arts & Crafts Room on the first, third, and fifth Mondays of the month from 1 to 5 pm. For info, call Jan Hamm at (951) 212- 6799 or Vivian Myrdahl at (626) 221-0872. Sun Lakes Quilters Sew What? Club Last month, we had the pleasure of sifting through numerous paper crafting supplies brought in by Elaine Perkins. Fortunately for us, her sister-in-law no longer had a need for these supplies, so she gave them to Elaine to pass on to our group. We became the benefactors of some very wonderful treasures. Thank you, Elaine! This is one of the perks of our Paper Crafting group. We share or donate our excesses to others who would otherwise have to go out and purchase the same type items. And as often happens, we find supplies we didn't even know existed and can't wait to get them home to try them out. We decided we would like to work on a fall-related project for our next monthly Make 'n Take. The project will span two weeks, as some of the members will be unavailable on certain days, and none of us want to miss out on these project days. The last Monday in September and the first Monday in October will be devoted to creating pumpkins in whatever medium we choose. We can paint them, decoupage them, cover them in burlap, or whatever else we decide to use. The pumpkins might be made of wood, Styrofoam, or some other material. It's always fun to see what others come up with. Maybe some might even turn theirs into Jack o' lanterns! In October, we will meet four times. We will be in the Main Clubhouse Bus Room on Oct. 2, then congregate in the Multipurpose Room Oct. 16, 23, and 30. No meeting Oct. 9. The meeting times are 1 to 3 pm. The monthly luncheon will be on Thurs., Oct. 12 at 11 am in the Atrium. Please contact either Elaine Perkins (951) 334-3119 or Sallie Flesher (951) 902-9768 for more information. Paper Crafting Talented and interested ladies who have an interest in the Sew What Club are always welcome to attend our meetings on the first and third Tuesdays. We meet at 12:30 to 2:30 pm in the Arts & Crafts Room. Because our membership has dwindled, there are some weeks that we have missed meeting because the few remaining members had other commitments that arise and there is no one to lead the group. If that has happened to you, don't give up on coming the next time or giving me a call. My name is Gail and you can reach me at (951) 797- 3589. If I am unable to take your call, please leave your name and number and a brief message and I will call you back. Fiber Artists Holidays are just around the corner; how about a hat or scarf for your family members? It's not too late. We can get you going and keep you on track to have it ready for gift giving. There are lots of quick and easy gifts to make. We meet every Monday in the North Clubhouse at 12:30 pm. The second Monday of the month we trade out leftover supplies and patterns, yarns, needles, you name it — and on the fourth Monday, we share a potluck lunch. We welcome all needle/ fiber crafters… experienced and novice alike. Come join in the fun and camaraderie of creating together!
