Using a wide variety of embroidery stitches, Sara has designed a charming piece of crazy quilting that can be turned into a small necklace/pouch or a needlecase when completed. Join us for what is sure to be an awesome learning experience with an enthusiastic and experienced teacher. (Note: Because of the in-depth course content, this will be an extended program session.)

June 30 - July 4 - Marin County Fair - Always Fresh, Fun and Local

July 28 - Annual Picnic

August 25 - End of Summer Studio Time
Without regular meetings in June and July, an unstructured meeting at the end of August will be a great way for us to catch up, with our friends and our stitching. No formal program, no kit fee, nothing to bring but whatever you are currently working on. Maybe one of those UFOs in the back of the closet? A new challenge that a more experienced member can help you with? Time to start on your holiday stitching? Whatever--join us for what may be the most relaxed meeting of the year, a lovely segue from Summer into Fall.
