Your Member Number is on your Membership Card – can’t find it? Give Linda Kelley a call and she will give the number to you ((678-546-1745). Be sure to save the number and your created password for future use.
If you are not a Gwinnett QOV Member, you can register as a guest without any of the above, and just for NSD, we will make sure you will be counted as part of our group, but you will not be eligible for the National hourly prizes or the Grand Prize.
Can’t join us in person? Sewing at home or with a small group counts too…just be sure to let us know your plans, so you can get in touch with you….should your name get drawn for a prize !!!
We are going to have our own fun activities during the day. Those registering through National, using Gwinnett QOV registration option before our January 16th meeting will get 5 additional drawing tickets – WOW !!! – We will also have kits available on January 16th, if you don’t want to have to think about what to sew. The patterns are quick and easy to complete. We will be drawing for door prizes all day long, enjoying a pot luck lunch around noon and sharing Show and Tell all day long too. We hopefully will have a QOV Award Ceremony following lunch.
As the date gets closer, if you have any questions about National Sew Day, please give me a call, so we can get you all squared away.
Lots of hugs to each of you………..Happy 2025………..xo Betsy
