Philanthropic Educational Organization
Teresa Fields | May 25, 2010Hi everyone,
Recently I was the guest speaker in Marion, Indiana at the Philanthropic Educational Organization luncheon. WOW! That is a mouthful. I guess that’s why they go by the name PEO. There were about 30 lovely ladies there and we had a wonderful lunch. The PEO mission is to raise money for scholarships for young women entering educational fields. This year’s theme is Women Moving Onward and Upward. Since I am a new woman in business, they wanted to hear how I got started with my business, what I am doing now, and what I have planned for the future.
I told the ladies how I came up with the idea for the Sole Cool Hot Iron Bag pattern and my newest pattern release, Snap, Grab & Go. They loved both of these products. They especially liked Snap, Grab & Go because the pattern comes with a quilt and bag all in one. They also loved the snap-in and snap-out vinyl liner in the bag. (I love it too!) I had a wonderful time at the PEO luncheon. At the end of the program, my friend Cindy Beall presented me with a bouquet of roses. So nice!
Now, I know you want the tip of the day:
Do you sometimes have leftover binding? If you save your leftover binding, you can use it to put around potholders or placemats. I sew my leftover binding all together. Then I use this multicolored binding around my placemats or other items.
