Our January Meeting Event!
Pin Cushion or Needlebook Exchange
49 people participated in our pincushion/ needle book exchange! Everyone was surprised by what was hidden inside the paper bags and lots of excitement was in the air as the bags were ripped open. Thanks to all who participated.
Our February Meeting Event!
"Spin the Bobbin"
There was no demonstration at the February meeting. Instead, those who attend in person had the opportunity to play “Spin the Bobbin”! There were multiple goody bags full of interesting prizes; where the spinner landed designated which goody bag your prize came from! Thank you, 45th committee for the prizes!
