KLATCH

Definition = “a gathering characterized usually by informal conversation” – we are just adding the sewing part!

An informal gathering for sewists, quilters, embroiderers and just plain crafty folk to gather monthly on the last Wednesday of each month 10 a.m. – 12 noon to sew together in the privacy of their own homes via zoom. A creative free-for-all and a fun time together to share sewing ideas, dreams and frustrations or just sew away and listen to the conversations and comments. Each month we will have something ridiculously funny and interesting to chat about too!

 Don't miss this NEW way we can be together, sew together and have fun together!

KLATCH
