December 14, 2024

Come and celebrate a great year of weaving, spinning, knitting, crocheting, tatting and sewing! We will be getting together with Ann’s Web for a December to Remember. It’s a potluck so bring your favorite dish to share. We will be having a couple of types of gift exchange, one you had to sign up for awhile ago which is the “gift challenge”. One which anyone can participate in is, “Bring a gift valued at $20.00 or less” and you will get to choose a gift.
