This project has come together in a way none of us could have imagined. What is amazing is that if we can dream it &#8211; the way becomes clear. Well, we have some big dreams, we will outline some of them and how you can help them to come true over the next few [...]]]></description>

Reminders for the June stitchers:

If you have and are able to bring a magnifier and/or a lamp, please do. We’d appreciate it very much.
If you’d like a seat cushion and can bring one, please do.
Please avoid strong perfumes. One of our number is allergic.
