List to get started

1 Venue
2 Sewing machines
3 Materials, enough to get started on a group quilt
4 Tea and biscuits
5 People

I have a few ideas about 1& 2. there is a venue locally that has sewing machines so an email is going out to the person in charge of the venue.
3. No idea how to get these. Not many textile factories around Shoreditch, not even sure if there are many people sewing at home, to even ask for their scraps. There is a large Oxfam and a newly opened St Vinnies, so maybe I could ask them for suitable bits.
4 Maybe my workplace could donate these.
5 Must start spreading the word, I am sure I know enough interested people. There was a workshop run locally last year, just for 6 weeks that was well subscribed. More about that in another blog. Maybe some of those people might be interested.

Another idea
If the venue was, say, a church hall, we could cover our venue costs by making a group quilt and raffling it off. And maybe raise enough extra money to cover the costs of making the next group quilt. Who knows?

One more thing
6 If we had a computer and camera, we could introduce new people to Flickr and blogworld to show the amazing world out there of amazing people out there making amazing things!

I’m so excited………….. but how to get it all going?
