VaP (Vivian and Phyllis) Vibes
For those of you who had the chance to attend the Germantown Library How-To workshop on May 21st, thank you for helping out! We had a good showing at our table. The traffic was steady and we had quite a bit of interest in our presentation. Thank you Susan for organizing this event for us and getting our booth set up with such a variety of smocking! Thanks to Diane, Kittie, Carolyn, Shawn, Sara, Virginia and Vivian for working the event and sharing your beautiful handwork!
Now that school is out, it is time to work on some special projects you have been trying to finish. Lace Cottage has a full calendar in June with classes and “Kid’s Camp”. We are also planning our “Christmas in July” so that those of you who have finished old projects can get started on Christmas outfits! We will have Christmas fabrics, basics, and our smocking plates stocked up – come join us.
Following up on a fall event for all of us to attend, I have reached out to Barbara with Whitney Hills Estate. This sounds like such fun! You can check out their website at www.whitneyhillsestates.com and see the house with the barn for activities and the beautiful grounds. The estate is only about an hour away and would be a great place to have a ‘Day Retreat’. Now we should try to find a project to make that day. Any ideas are welcome!
I am ready for the Button Scissor Fob program on Tuesday!
