We hope everyone is enjoying spring and has got an early start to gardening and outdoor activities. You definitely have to be quick about it as the weather is changing so frequently. As of writing this, it’s nice out now, but there might be flurries tomorrow…. yikes!
Our Sew Days are suffering from the same spring fever as the weather and we have a number of updates including changes to times and locations for our upcoming sew days, so please read to the very end! Specifically, we needed to switch our May date, see below for updated time and location.
The format of the Sew Days is going to change somewhat in the coming months as we try a few new to us locations. We would like to alternate between our regular favourites and add a location or two. If you are trying to plan ahead, we are hoping to have a 4 month rotation where we go to CannaConnect, Orleans United Church, Sew Inspired and Millers Apartments. This will provide everyone with an opportunity to drop off quilt tops, finished quilts and pick up new kits. Of course, Christine and I are happy to pick up from you directly during the month.
Happy Stitching Everyone,
Nancy, Brigid and Christine
