Beyond Jane Open Sewing Tuesday March 5th

Just a reminder that all MLQG members of all ability levels are welcome to come to the Beyond Jane open sewing session at the lake house on Tuesday, March 5th. We start at 10AM and finish up around 3PM. Come anytime.

Bring whatever stitching project your working on (hand or machine), your lunch, and any supplies you need. Spend some time with fellow guild members who understand your passion about quilting. It's cheaper than therapy and a lot more fun!

If you need directions to the lake house or have questions, contact Anya T., Dori S., or Susan McC.  (contact info can be found on the guild roster or newsletters), or just leave a comment on this blog post.

Hope to see you there!
