Our Next General Meeting Monday, May 7 at 7:00 pm Grange Hall, Sudbury Town Center (Park behind the Town Hall) Cathy Racine of Charlton Sewing Center will come and talk about "Everything Matters". This lecture will cover all things related to sewing machines and working with threads, tension and different types of needles, etc, etc. This lecture promises to cover a lot more than the basics – our machines are what make our quilting possible! She will be vending as well, bringing with her many notions and new ‘things’ from her store. This is an opportunity to stock up on items you may need over the summer! Bring a friend along for just $5. Introduce someone new to our guild.
