Reminder - Patchwork in the Park (Part II) on Saturday!

UPDATE on 7/22!!!  Due to the extreme heat, we are moving the event indoors to Starbucks!  See the updated information here:  http://nycmetromodquilters.blogspot.com/2011/07/important-update-about-patchwork-in.html


As a reminder, this Saturday, July 23rd is our second and final Patchwork in the Park event!  Folks are meeting up to enjoy the summer, chat, eat lunch, and bring their handwork and/or show-and-tell.  The last meet-up was a success, and it would be great to have even more Metro Mod folks joining us for the festivities.

Saturday is expected to be sunny, so we won't need to use the raindate.  Here are the details:

Date and Time:
Saturday, July 23rd
11:00am to 2:00pm


Location:
--Central Park, just WEST of the Great Lawn ballfields (under the trees in the shade).  Enter the park at 81st Street from the West side or the East side.  It is hard to give an exact location depending on the availability of space, but just walk along the trees on the western edge of the Great Lawn ballfields to find us.  Look for the folks with the quilts!
--Click here for a map (the Great Lawn is in the middle).
--Can't find us?  Email patchworkduck {at} gmail {dot} com in advance to get my cellphone number, or email when you get to the park (I have an iPhone and will check it regularly).

To Bring:
--Lunch and drinks for yourself.
--Dessert for the group (optional).
--Picnic blanket or sheet.
--Handwork projects!  Ideas:  quilt bindings, English paper piecing, applique, quilt labels, embroidery, mending, crocheting, a drawing sketchbook.
--Show and tell (optional and very informal).
--A hat and light clothes (it is going to be hot on Saturday).

Notes:
--Feel free to include crafting-inclined friends (even knitters!) and significant others.  Warm-weather fun is all-inclusive!  Just warn them that it will be a sewing-focused day, so they should bring a book or other way to entertain themselves.  :)
--Please give us a rough headcount by posting a comment below!
