Here's a reminder that our next workshop will be on June 28th from 9- 2. We will be making purses. If you are interested but don't have the pattern yet, please contact Carol Schaffer. If you don't want to make a purse, you are welcome to come on that day anyway and work on your own project. If you have the pattern and would like to get a head start, you may go ahead and cut out your pieces beforehand.

Of course our member jumped at the suggestion. There were 9 boxes of fabric!
Also books and thread.
This was all divided into more manageable bags and the girls went through them at the meeting. It was like Christmas Day!

of places where Earl grew up.
