This past month Sew & Tell was filled with great projects and great ideas shared from like-minded people....people that are creative, supportive of each other and very giving from the heart.  The holiday gifts to others, the charity sewing that has occurred and simply creating something for yourself was refreshing.  

If you haven't joined us at Sew & Tell yet, be sure to get it on your calendar and enroll today.  The First Saturday of each Month at 10:00 am in our Learning Center,
