Boston area sewers' potluck? Let's have dinner and show garments!
Julia Graham Intermediate CO Member since 4/12/02 Posts: 14	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/21/02 10:29 AM Hi all -- I'm a Boston-area member and would love to host a potluck some evening.  Well, probably a potluck/fashion show!  It's such fun to see the pictures of what everyone's sewed, but there seem to be a lot of us in this area and it would be great to meet in person.  I know some people have met up a few times and are heading north for fabric shopping.  I live on the south edge of Boston, in Hyde Park; it's between JP, Dedham, Canton, and Milton -- very easy to get to from Rt 95/128.  North isn't always easy for me.  So if there's a more southerly group, I'd love to host something or meet somewhere.  Anyone??

It sounds like our group is spread out all over the Boston area, so there's a good chance that if someone has difficulty getting to a certain location then another member can help out. I'm up in the northwest suburbs, as are a couple other members, but I'm always happy to carpool. Julia, we're going on our 2nd fabric crawl next weekend to Fabric Fix in NH. I know that's a long way for you, but any chance you can make it? The more the merrier.

How far up into NH is Fabric Fix?
