April Program
The April program will be the results of the "Creative Challenge". At the March meeting, 7 participants exchanged "goodie bags" filled with fibers, yarns, beads and other fiber-related good-ies. They now have one month to get creative and to come up with and execute a project with the items in the bags.
In April, all members will get to Oooh and Aaah over the creations and to hear what inspired the work, how each person approached her challenge, and what new skills each tried out. As a body, we will vote for the winner and the winner will receive.......a $25 gift certificate to Lofty Lou's.!
If anyone was not able to attend the March meet-ing, but would like to participate in the challenge please contact Elizabeth Standeven via email at (12elizst@gmail.com) and she will try to match you with another person to exchange goodies with. You will just have a little less time to cre-ate than the rest of us. All final creations should be brought to the April meeting. We look for-ward to seeing what transpires!
