NEW GROUPS THAT WILL START MEETING IN JANUARY

The “Knit-Wits” Knitting Circle– Will meet once a
month (the second Wednesday of the Month) starting
Wednesday, January 12th at 10am. This will be a group with
mixed levels. It will be a chance to knit together with others, learning ideas off each other and just enjoying the camaraderie. Please email me at sgould@oldlyme-ct.gov OR
call (860)434-4127 and let us know if you can attend our kickoff get together January 12th at 10am. Feel free to bring some of your finished projects to share with the group and any you want to work on during this get together.
“Quilty” Pleasures Quilting Group– Will meet once a
month (the third Wednesday of the Month) starting on
January 19th at 10am. If you are interested please let me
know. My thought is that it could be a group of people that
would come together to work on their individual projects.
You would need to bring your own sewing machine although we MAY have one for people to share if needed. This
group would give people a chance to share your quilting passion, borrow
ideas off each other and even in the future could look at hire guest instructors for a specific project if that is what the group wants. Please email me
at sgould@oldlyme-ct.gov OR call (860)434-4127 and let us know if you
can attend our kickoff get together January 19th at 10am. Feel free to
bring some of your finished projects to share with the group and any you
want to work on during this get-together.
“Girls Gone Scrappy” Scrapbooking & Papercraft
Group– Will meet once a month (the fourth Wednesday of
the Month) starting Wednesday, January 26th at 10am.
Please email me at sgould@oldlyme-ct.gov OR call (860)
434-4127 and let us know if you can attend our kickoff get together January 26th at 10am. Bring your own consumable supplies (ink, paper, glue sticks or whatever you like to use) and reusable supplies (like stamps) to share during our get-together. This will be a
great time to get ideas from others and get our creative juices flowing as
well .
