We are starting a new monthly meeting on Sunday afternoons in January. January will be Jan 11th (2nd Sunday) but usually it will be 1st Sunday. 3 hours 1-4pm.
The intent is to provide an opportunity for those who work during the week and encourage those who may be new to stitching so, if you know someone, please do invite them. Guild membership is not required to try us out :-) No formal program but people will be encouraged to ask for help and to share what they are doing. Cups of tea will be served so you are welcome to bring your own special cup, if you have one. This is at Kris Hennum’s community room at City Bella (not at MVUUF). Please call to be let in if showing up later.
This group meets monthly on the 1st/2nd Sunday from 1pm to 4pm.
