President’s Message
Hope to see everyone at the White Elephant Sale, Memorial Day, Monday May
30th, in the Clairemont Community Center. Please bring your friends, family
and neighbors. We plan to have as much fun as we did on New Year’s Day!
Don’t forget to sign up for the Designers Across America “Stocking
Ornament” designed by Martha Ellis. The Stocking is a canvas piece with six
different stitches. We plan to have two program meetings for the Stocking,
the first to stitch it with Nancy Horne, and the second to finish it with
Sandy Higgins. It finishes up to an ornament size of about 4 ½" by 5 ½". I
can’t wait! May 30th will be the last day you can sign up to get the
pattern, for only $2.00. Please let me or another Board member know if you
are interested.
Happy Stitching!
Karen
