February - Sew Expo Month & Sewing Together with Show & Tell

Wednesday, February 26, is the beginning of the annual Sew Expo at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. If you've never attended, it is something else! There are lots of vendors, classes, people checking out all the vendors, wonderful doo-dads and goodies to buy, fabulous fabric, and, of course, fair food and scones. You can find out more about it here: https://sewexpo.showare.com/Login.asp?gifrompage=14&gitopage=13

I've attended almost every year since it began, and am always astonished at the creativity of people who attend, who teach and who figure out things to sell. And every year I try to limit my purchases. Sometimes I'm even successful.

I hope you can join us for this evening gathering as we each do our own sewing thing, at home, together. Having company always helps move a project forward, not only because it's nice to have company, but because you can get some encouragement and cheer-leading for yourself and what you've accomplished so far.

Please join us as we gather to share some sewing time together and chat about sewing, our pets, our travels, movies, concerts, books, etc.

These monthly gatherings are a chance for us all to chat, or not, and check out each other's progress while it goes on, or not, and see what's happening in another room where we are not, all while we're actually sewing or hand stitching or cutting out a pattern, or sewing on buttons or crocheting, or knitting, or whatever, in our own rooms.

For those of us who find actually sewing a challenge of some kind, we can get instant feedback, encouragement, questions answered, etc., and actually get something accomplished (yay!) in pleasant company.

As always, if you RSVP as a "yes" and then realize that you can't make it after all, please update your attendance on this site so that we know not to expect you. Thanks.

I hope to see you there
