Next Regular Meeting
November 15th Plan to attend the guild meeting in November as Diane Costa guides us in making fun cards to send to the special people in your life. The cards can be made for any occasion, but with the holidays just around the corner, perhaps a special card for Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, or Kwanzaa? Diane worked at Back Porch Fabric for many years. She taught this class at Back Porch, as well as other popular classes on bagmaking and fabric flowers. Please stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for a list of items to bring.
