Bring your own project to finish, or make a cardinal appliqué to add to a tablecloth, napkins or even a piece of clothing. We will have supplies on hand, and the kettle will be on! Come and meet some other textile artists and slow down the holiday rush in some great company.
This is the first of many upcoming community groups. Deb will be on hand to help you complete the cardinal project, but otherwise its just a chance to stitch and make some progress on that UFO (unfinished object) before the holidays arrive.
