Busy, busy.  The sweatshirt jacket project started for real Monday.  There were many sewing machines and a plethora of sweatshirts and material to be sewn.  With the able help of quilters Betty, Maurene and Anna we plunged forward. and they gave their excellent opinions as the day progressed.  As of today - Thursday - there are 17 in progress with a few more ready to be started Monday.  Wyn is finishing up her and Sharon's jackets.
