April, 2016

VaP (Vivian and Phyllis) Vibes
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!  I am glad that Spring is officially here. Now is the time to start on a cute bubble, Johnny, or sundress! 
Vivian and I certainly busy with class schedules for spring and summer at Lace Cottage.  Our coat class was sold out each time and our scalloped shorts classes have been a huge hit.  We keep adding to our classes to our calendar!  In April we will have a class on putting an insert into a T-shirt.  We are working on our summer “Kid’s Camp” in July that will have a pajama theme! 
At last month’s meeting we discussed having some sort of a retreat- the Stitchin’ Post in Little Rock, AR was mentioned as somewhere we would like to visit.  If anyone has any other ideas, please let either Vivian or me know and we can certainly follow up.  I believe we talked about having this in the Fall, but we would love to hear more ideas. 
I hope everyone will be at the meeting Tuesday.
