What's New
Next Meeting
Join us in person Tuesday, March 21 at 7 PM, at the Buckingham Twp Building. Patrick Barron will be presenting a lecture: Repurposing Antiques and Common Objects in Needlework Finishing.
Patrick will share his passion for hunting for unique antique items that he reimagines as vessels to showcase simple stitch patterns or messages. Patrick is a needle artist who has a mission to repurpose items. To showcase Patrick’s talents, we are going to hold an informal show-and-tell which will promote imagination and creativity, and hopefully encourage us to do the same. Please bring some items that you wish that you could repurpose for the general discussion.
