Hand Work Group (aka Busy Fingers)
3rd Monday 6:30 PM each month
Barnes & Nobles at Tanglewood Mall
Some members work on Dear Jane squares, but others work on other hand work. Everyone is welcome. Bring your hand piecing, appliqué, hand quilting, binding, embroidery, or any-thing else you do by hand and join us. It is a great time of fun, fellowship and help from other members. Bring your own supplies. Of course, we all will be glad to share if you forget to bring something.

- Be more creative.. bolder
- Try/Learn Techniques like dying, portraits from photos, design exercises, flower pounding, dye painting, batiking, paint sticks, silk screening
