I certainly miss my sewing friends! Between the holidays and the icy weather, I’ve had much needed sewing time, but not much time to share sewing stories and news with my sewing friends.
I can’t wait for the retreat Feb 4-8 at Sunset Sewing Retreat Center. I’ll have lots of fun stories and pictures to share!
February gives us many more opportunities to be together!
