We welcomed a new member, Sonia, who learned about us by way of the Ontario Network of Needleworkers webpage.

At tonight's meeting Geri and Bernie provided instruction on the Palestrina stitch and joining two pieces of fabric respectively. Other specialty stitches and techniques will be demonstrated at our next stitch days and meetings.
