Oct 2 Guest Speaker: Angela Grasse
Angela Grasse will be presenting a trunk show highlighting her journey as a fabric artist and hopefully inspire all of us as we start this new year of stitching.
Oct 16 Stash Sale!!
Usually we do this event in the winter but this year we are moving it to the fall so our snowbirds can participate. They have expressed the wish to contribute and to shop and have some of the fun of the sale. You all know what you need to do!
Nov 6 Remembrance Day: 100th Anniversary of the end of WW1
We will be making “bleuets” or cornflowers which are used similar to our use of the poppy. They became a remembrance symbol for the veterans in France at the end of WW1. Wear your poppy. Come and learn more and make a bleuet.
Nov 20 Learn a new stitch
Learn the Bayeux stitch, a fill-in stitch widely used in the famous Bayeux tapestry. This stitch will be useful to you too.
Dec 4 Mystery Project
You don’t ask! And we don’t tell!
