Tuesday, January 10, 2023

Welcome 2023!!

 Is it too late to say Happy New Year? Regardless, the calendar has been turned (or should I say replaced?!) and it's now January. The winter has been kind to us so far, but I'm sure there are lots of cold wintery days to come- perfect days for sewing and quilting!! 

Just a reminder, both January and February meetings will be via Zoom. Watch your email inbox, you will get a message several days before the meeting with the link to join in. If you think you will need help, let us know!
