South Branch will be a meeting place where like-minded needle and fiber artists will gather to discuss the trials and triumphs of various kinds of fiber arts. Bring one of your latest projects to work on during this social circle of Friends & Needles as we ask questions, answer concerns, and maybe even learn a new needlecraft. This homage to an old-fashioned sewing circle will meet monthly for two hours of discussion, demonstration and camaraderie.
