Welcome 2014! We are working very hard to make 2014 better than 2013! 
– We have a nice variety of projects to do
– New lessons for sewing, and we are adding lessons for knitting and crochet!
– No last minute deadlines – Yay!
We want your creative juices flowing with creativity and enthusiasm! How can we help you do that? There’s a brand new Calendar page; the Current Projects page will have new updates; the Patterns page will have new patterns added – some are new links, some are original patterns. Keep your eyes on these pages, as they will be changing as new content is added!
Now, with this in mind, please check more often on these pages to see exactly what we’re doing each month. That will also decrease the number of emails you get! 🙂
By the way, have you looked at the Gallery page recently? It’s completely updated, and there are bunches of new pics on there of everything you have made – it’s beautiful, and there’s a lot!
Creative Workshop
Our next Creative Workshop will be on January 11th from 9:30 to 2:00 pm. 
A new sewing lesson will be an easy Wonky 9 Patch Quilt. You will need 10-12 coordinating fat quarters or the equivalent. If you use scraps, each scrap will need to be large enough to make at least two 10″ squares. If you have a 9.5″ square cutting ruler, please bring it, you will find it very helpful!
Another idea! I’m bringing fat quarters that will be available if don’t have enough, or if you would like to ‘swap’ for a different color that goes with your color scheme. This will be a practical way to apply color theory – AKA, putting colors together! I think it will be fun! You’d be amazed at what unexpected colors go together!
New knitting & crochet lessons will include an easy Crochet Hooded Scarf / easy Knit Hooded Scarf. You will need about 8 ounces of worsted weight yarn in one color, or a total of 8 ounces in 2 or more colors for a multicolored or striped scarf. You will also need size 8 knitting needles, or size H crochet hook.
*** Since we are having sewing, knitting and crochet lessons, we are going to stagger them so you would be able to participate in all of them if you would like!
Please remember that regardless of the ‘lessons’ at a particular Workshop, please do come and be a part of the social time. We want you there to enjoy the fellowship! So, you may work on the lessons, or any other project you would like. We have several Projects that are ongoing, and you’re welcome to work on any of them.
