Hi Everyone !

We have a big event coming in September. Come and spend the afternoon with us!

A Stitcher's Swap Meet
Noon until 4-5 PM

Bring a chair, your needlework, anything from your stash you no longer want and a picnic lunch
for an afternoon of swapping with fellow needleworkers - no matter what their needlework style. That's right it could be any type of needlework.! Knitting, crocheting,cross stitch, etc.
This event will be held outside so if it rains please check with us because there will be a rain date.

Our Christmas Finishing Deadlines will be as follows:
Any projects brought in by November 1st. will be guaranteed for Christmas.
Any projects brought after the 1st. of November we will do our best to complete for the holidays
After Thanksgiving we cannot guarantee you will have them for the holiday
