Traditional 1 week reminder

Next Wednesday (June 16th) will be our next DS Meetup. This time, we will be making a return trip to Joe Sent Me in North Cambridge. This is only a 5-10 minute walk from Davis Square and right on Mass Ave.

I'll meet people in the back right hand corner of the bar (by the dart boards). Lets meet at 7pm and if you will be arriving later in the evening that is fine as well.

Who is planning on being there?

No Guerrilla contra dance in the square tonight

Rumor has it that if folks were to show up in the middle of Davis Square tonight at 7:30, and start dancing or playing folk music, then a contra dance would be likely to occur.

UPDATE: The dance has been cancelled because of the rain.

Ole!

Curious if anyone has heard of what sort of events will be going on in the greater Davis area restaurants and pubs for the first weekend of World Cup action? Particularly USA/ENG on Saturday.

Quilting Supplies & Sewing Patterns Free!

I have a bunch of quilting/sewing stuff I'd like to pass on to a new home.  I live near Davis Sq/ Ball Sq.   Preference for someone who will take all of it, but I'd be happy to parcel off the quilting stuff for a beginner interested in learning to hand quilt.

Here's the list:
  • Queen sized finished quilt top needs batting & quilting (good for hand quilting practice)
  • 10 spools of cotton quilting thread for hand quilting  (to match quilt above)
  • 4 or 5 packs of hand quilting needles and a holder/caddy for thread & needles
  • "Your First Quilt Book" by Carol Doak (it's a great starter book and good for reference as well)
  • "Sewing with Nancy"  - 5 How-to books, on quilting projects & sewing clothing, etc.
  • Fabric Box cross stitch kits (2 - one opened with everything there, the other unopened)
  • 3 Fabric covered picture frames from Pier1 (3x3 pictures size??)
  • Sewing Pattern!!!!  two boxes and one portable file filled with a wide variety of patterns for women, men and kids clothing in a wide range of sizes, costumes and craft projects.
  • big green/taupe tackle box.  It was only ever used for craft & sewing notions and has the dividers

Pictures of everything can be seen here.
