We have made a decision to make our Workshop and UFO days IN PERSON FOR 12 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. If the weather is bad for driving, please stay home.

We will also be having a "talk and share" about Organizing Your Scraps. Bring in a sample of a container you use to store your scraps.

March 14, 2026: Please note the date change (it was March 7) - UFO day, with a demo by Carole Mulholland, to make an Itty Bitty Patch Card. She will supply white card stock.

June 13, 2026: A workshop given by Diana Scholtens and Liz Felder, called "An Introduction to Curved Piecing, using the Sew Kind of Wonderful Rulers". Details will follow shortly.

Please let Diana or Liz know if you own a ruler, so we can share the rulers.

NOTE: If you just want to do your own UFO project this day, that is ok.

What are you doing on Thursday?

Every Thursday afternoon, from 1pm to 4pm, is a Sit and Sew Zoom meeting. It's a great way to spend an afternoon working on your latest creation while enjoying a friendly chat with like-minded guild members. A link is posted in the private Facebook group prior to each Thursday and there is no charge for this fun afternoon get-together.
