We had a short, but fun meeting in April.
Meeting Winners! We had some shy winners this month. Congratulations – you know who you are!
Committee Updates
Sit and Sews: The sit and sew committee has scheduled several times to meet over the next few months. Some during the week and some on the weekend. The recent ones have been well attended with the members enjoying camaraderie while they sew. All dates and times for scheduled sit and sews (both in-person and virtual) are on the calendar and as events in the Facebook member group.
Challenge: Two different challenges were announced this month. See the Challenges page for more information on both.
- One is a one-month challenge to make flower blocks.
- One is a six-month challenge to go on a mysterious creative journey.

April Program
Rather than a program, we had a maker’s market. Several of our members brought fabric, books, notions, and lovely handmade items. We browsed and many found some treasures to take home. I was having such a good time wandering around and making purchases, that I completely forgot to take pictures. If anyone got some, please share on the Facebook page.
