This will be our business meeting, where we’ll review both old and new information. There will also be a show and tell session, so bring your current projects to share with the group.

Special Feature: Part 2 of our Beaded Fringe class.

 Please bring 

• the instructions that we emailed to you, 

• the bead kits Maxine handed out at the April meeting (She has a couple left for anyone who missed that meeting), 

• a tapestry needle that will pass through the beads, 

• and a beading mat (either the sticky one that came with the kits or any other type of mat that they prefer).

Once our meeting concludes, a group of members will be heading out to eat together. Please feel free to join us for some good food and great conversation!

We can’t wait to see you all there and catch up on your stitching progress.
