George?

The bus trip to the Expo was so much fun! I made a new friend:



Meet Member George Williams! George is a talented sewer who joined ASG in November of 2001. The outfit he is wearing was made by him. The pants are from a bedspread he made a while ago that was worn out in spots. So he is a recycler/reuser! He also says he made his wifes Easter outfit. He likes to make bathing suits and potholders among many other things. George has a heavy duty and very heavy sewing machine! It was great fun meeting George, unfortunately we chose different classes so we didn't see each other until it was time to get back on the bus. If you get to meet George ask him "what are you sewing?"

Tips!

Check out the May 2012 Threads magazine! Our very own member Debra Williams submitted a tip and was printed in this issue.

What is Threads Magazine? It is a Tauton's Press of Newtown, Conn. publication which was established in 1985. Not too long ago right? Yet this magazine has 108,580 paid subscriptions. That is a lot of readers right now reading Debra's tip!Threads says: "Threads is the premier magazine for sewing enthusiasts -- people who are passionate about sewing garments, home furnishings, gifts, and accessories."

Did you know you can get a significant discount on the Threads Magazine? It is one of the many perks of being an ASG member. Call up or send an email to our Member at large chair Maureen VanHeusen for all the details. Details about pricing are also on page 10 of our latest issue of Sew You Know. Just sew you know!
