Church of Craft… what a success!

Thanks to all who made it out to Stitch Cleveland for Church of Craft. If you missed it, our next official meeting will be on August 19th from 1-4pm. However, we had such a great time that we decided to meet on a more frequent basis. We will gather on Sundays from 1-4pm!

Don’t forget that all types of crafters are welcome to this event! As a show of support my wonderful husband (Dave) attended the first meeting. He and Marc (who allowed his fiancée to teach him to crochet during our crafting) decided to organize crafts that are more “manly.” Hmmm… something involving power tools and our parking lot, I guess! I’ll bring the first aid kit… Stay tuned to see what they’re up to during the next month!

    Oh I’m so sad that I couldn’t come :( But I’m totally going to attend the Church of Craft soon. It was awesome hanging out with you ladies on Saturday. I can hardly wait to come back on Saturday.
