Happy Chinese New Year!
We have an amazing and inspiring list of neighborhood group meetings planned for February. We're sure you'll find something that is new, useful, or exciting! This includes a NEW neighborhood group, Lansdowne, west of Fairfax County! So, if you've been neglecting fellowship with other sewists because of long commutes and inconvenient times, this might meet your needs.
If you're interested in starting your own neighborhood group, please comment and we can set you up with guidelines and best practices to make your group and meetings a success.
