Pillowcases to Return?
If you were kind enough to pick up a pillowcase kit from Sarah during our October meeting, she's needing to get those back asap so she can take them with her to market this weekend to give back to the fabric company! You can drop them off at the shop or e-mail Sarah (sarah.huechteman@yahoo.com)
November Program: Pinterest Party!
Are you itching to make some holiday gifts but don't know where to start? Do you have an awesome gift idea from a free online tutorial you'd like to share? Or maybe you don't have any ideas, but you'd be happy to try something new? This party is for you!
At our guild meeting on November 1, we invite each of you to bring something you've made from an online tutorial (free tutorials only please!) or something you've chosen from this pinterest board https://www.pinterest.co
Let's get inspired and make some gifts!
