We had nearly 100 dresses sewn and donated by ASG NOVA members in support of our charity for 2022, "Dress a Girl Around the World." This was the last day to collect dresses and we will be sending them to Mari for distribution to a missionary for the phase. We also discussed several options for our charity focus for 2023.
Judith Grieg presented information on photographing our makes and projects and even provided expert advice on how to make the initial cut for juried submissions (hint: follow the application guidelines! More is NOT better).
Mary Parker presented an interactive talk about Instagram as a platform for engagement, education, and excitement. Many members were unaware of ASG NOVA's social media outreach channels, and this was a great opportunity to encourage members to take a look at how ASG NOVA interacts with the community.
Members had the opportunity to browse the "Free Fabric" corner where a variety of lovely, donated fabrics, notions, and patterns were waiting to be taken home and added to someone's stash or put in the immediate cut pile. (Too bad that 100% silk piece was a color only a redhead could pull off---we blondes and brunettes were totally frustrated!).
