It’s time once again for our February “Souper Supper.” My quilting bee is very fond of dessert, and three times a year we add dinner to the menu. In July we have an indoor “picnic” to celebrate the Fourth of July, and in December we go out to dinner in place of a meeting.
I have the honor of making two soups for dinner, and each member will bring something to share. I have a wide variety of soup recipes but the one they always ask for is a Cheddar and ham chowder. They left the second soup up to me, so I’m going to make a pot of Minestrone. We’ll have Spinach dip, breads, salad, fruit, cheese and dessert to round out the meal. I’ll send leftovers home with the ladies.
I want to talk with my bee members about how to determine the appropriate height for a. my sewing machine, and b. the chair I sit on at the sewing machine. I can’t decide if I need to sit lower, or raise the sewing machine. If I’m going to run a quilting sweatshop for my charity group (Scraps on a Mission), I need to be able to have good back health, and these are just the ladies to ask about this!
So….Soup’s on!
