It’s been wonderful to see so many responses and such positive feedback to my posts and messages. I am so looking forward to meeting all of you! We are gearing up to get started this Thursday January 30th at the White Clover Grange. We will start promptly at 1:00 P.M. so please come a few minutes early to get set up. Bring whatever you happen to be working on and we will find a place for you. If you are interested in one of the classes that will be offered, that is great too! This is what we have lined up so far:

We are considering also having a monthly Saturday event for those who work during the week or would like to bring their children to create with. If you have interest in this or know someone who would, please let me know so that I can get it on the calendar.
