Haven't decide yet for Fri supper. I will do some demonstrations if anyone wants and just bring whatever you would like to work on.

I have 5 people so far and possibly one more. We have room for 12 all totalled. so we have room for 6 more.

Ooo wish I could get there Rhonda!

I wish you could too!

I spend alot of money at Stitch n Sew. It is one of my favorite shops. I sold my stuff to Yoder's antiques and gifts for 12 yrs until this year. She closed the store. I sold some stuff to Juanita at Willowcreek in April but haven't had time to make more for her. If I get around I need to find out if she still wants any more merchandise. I have bought alot from those two stores over the last 12 years. I taught my first class at Willow Creek.

Born and raised in Dubuque, lived most of my adult years in Des Moines, and now am just north of Des Moines.
Love it - except for the winters. There is no place as lush as this.
