Dear Ladies,

How wonderful to see everyone last month! Some members that have not been able to come, returned last month and it was GREAT seeing you again!! I hope we have even more members return this month. There is something so comforting about being with friends of like-minded interests. We just get so busy in our everyday lives and this short time we have together on this Tuesday, gives us the "me" time we so deserve. Please continue to bring your unfinished project that you started last month, or dig out another one, to have to keep your hands busy during this month’s meeting too. 

Our meeting this month will be a review of the feather stitch by Jane Soffos. I myself have done lots and lots of handwork, but for some reason this stitch ALWAYS eludes me! I have the most trouble keeping it consistent! Many handworkers have shared this same opinion with me and we have all been taught by many wonderful and expert teachers. So why the issues?? Anyway, I am always happy to learn at the knee of yet again, another expert to try to master this elusive beautiful stitch! 

Looking forward to seeing you next week for fun and fellowship!
