• CRAFTER’S GETAWAY EVENT
  Saturday, June 20
  9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

  A Saturday getaway to craft and sew the day away with old friends and new. Bring your sewing machines, crochet, needlepoint, watercolor, or other projects and work alongside other sewists and crafters for a day. Breakfast and lunch will be provided in addition to free mini projects.

  This is a self-led program. Participants will bring their own sewing machines and projects to work on. This program is not a class for learning how to complete a project, but attendees are usually willing and able to answer questions if you’re having trouble with something specific. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please feel free to bring any scraps or resources you think other crafters in the community might want!
