Stitch in Public Day

Please remember that this Saturday, April 4th, we're doing another Stitch in Public Day at the Ashburn Library from 10-1.

This is located just off the Claiborne Parkway at 43316 Hay Road.

Bring something to work on and if you like, something to display.

We had a wonderful time chatting and stitching in February at the Reston Library.

If anyone would like to volunteer to set up a location and time to Stitch in Public, contact our President, Barbara.
