Volume 14, Issue 1
With spring around the corner, we are looking forward to warmer weather. Flowers blooming with vibrant colors might inspire us to try new projects. This year's In-Colors are bright and bold — pinks, plaids and florals. Let's get our creative juices flowing and try something new and different from our usual. A new quilt pattern or a new color to our wardrobe might be a start.
Happy stitching,

Greer Neighborhood Group Meeting
Hello everyone, we are still meeting at the little house behind Faith United Methodist Church on S 14 Highway. The change to the third Wednesday at 2:00 has been favorably received. Our group is able to have a more intimate meeting as we have the entire house to ourselves. So far this year, we had two demonstrations; self-binding and kitchen towel potholder. In April, Phyllis Costa will be demonstrating how to make a kitchen boa. Joann Clauter and I are planning a mystery meeting for the spring. We would love for you to join us!

I borrowed this book from the Libby library online system for ebooks. It was randomly picked by me but ended up being in part about a button factory on Lake Michigan It was a pretty good read It reminded me of our speaker at our annual meeting this year.
