REDWORK AND ENGLISH PAPER PIECING CLUB Sharron Meyer 2nd Wednesday afternoon of each month. Time 1:30-4:30 Skill level: All Levels If you love to do handwork and portable projects, won’t you consider joining us for an afternoon of Redwork Embroidery or English paper piecing. We are combining the two clubs into one since everyone is sitting and chatting together anyhow. This is a warm and friendly group who relax while they stitch away and share ideas with each other for a very enjoyable afternoon each month. The projects vary; sometimes the ladies are doing embroidery, other times they are English paper piecing. It just depends on what each individual feels like doing on that particular month. So, just bring along whatever project you are working on or consider starting something new. I am available to help with questions and technique issues. Fee: $8/month
