Unfinished Stitchery

We meet every Monday (excluding holidays) in the program room for an afternoon of stitching, chatting and laughing. Bring whatever project you're working on. Knitting, crochet, needlepoint, diamond dots, cross stitch etc. This is a fun group and a great way to gather and have time set aside with other adults.
