More to celebrate! Here's a rundown of our Neighborhood Group activities
Our Chapter's neighborhood groups have lots of sewing fun lined up for September's National Sewing Month celebration! For example, pictured at left above are machine embroidered greeting cards, designed by Lydia, one of our talented members, that she will present at our Machine Embroidery Neighborhood Group meeting on Sept. 9. Also pictured are several purses made by another gifted member, our president Marilyn Morgan. Join us to take a look at more of her beautiful bags Sept. 4 at our Sew Inclined NG meeting.
