2022 Hoffman Tour Information

The Hoffman Tour is Wednesday, July 6 - Plan to arrive by 9:15am. The presentation will start at 9:30am and will last approximately 90 minutes.

There are two Starbucks nearby: One is in the Target store at 24500 Alicia Parkway just off the I-5 freeway - this one has a large restroom. The other Starbucks is a bit closer to Hoffman at 24012 Alicia Parkway. There are more restrooms available along Alicia Parkway at many fast-food places.

Sewing Donations Needed for Weinsteins2Uganda

From Paula W.:

"In 2 short weeks, Yvonne Weinstein will be visiting from Uganda.  As you remember, we have supported her with quilting supplies the past few years. The Weinstein's are expanding, and Yvonne has even trained Gabriel, formerly the security guard, to teach sewing and travel to other places. Since they have expanded, more supplies are needed. If you are able to help, Yvonne has a wish list of things that are needed:

3 fine mist spray bottles

4 seam rippers

3 pincushions

8 scissors

4 rotary cutters

Rotary blades

1  24" ruler

1 cutting mat 18" x 24"

3   6 1/2  x 12 1/2" rulers

Thread-black, white, cream

3 Chalk markers and chalk

If you prefer to make a monetary donation, I will also collect money and shop for what is still needed. If you cannot donate at this time, thoughts and prayers are needed and they don't cost anything but are just as important.  Please bring your donations to our next meeting on Tuesday, April 19th at the Goeseke Center. If you have any questions, give me a call, text, or email. Thank you! Paula The Crazy Lady"
