June Meeting

 

Hello ladies,

Hope all of you are doing well. We are looking forward to our meeting on Thursday at the Jones Creek Library at 6:30 PM.

I am delighted to tell you that Gail Soileau, quilter, rug hooker, and needlewoman extraordinaire will present our program. She will bring samples and demonstrate how to make crocheted rugs. It should be a fun, learning experience. I dabble in crochet but never thought of it for rugs. 

Hope to see everyone there.

Sharon
