For our March general meeting, we’ll be back in our usual location at the Navajo Room on March 11 at 1 p.m. Be sure to join us as our guest speaker will be Loretta Moyer who will be bringing us her applique trunk show! It is sure to be fabulous.

Speaking of fabulous, our February guest was Sharon Bigelow, who presented her wonderful wool felting creations and explained how simple it can be to wool felt! She will be teaching a class or two for us to learn as well.

Hats off to our Children’s Charity Group for sewing and assembling 100+ Easter baskets to give to our charity of Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels Foundation for Easter.
