Part of our tradition has been a 'stash/gift swap'. We suggest choosing items from your stash worth up to $15; or if you can't part with anything,  a gift worth up to $15. This is an optional fun activity. In the past guest have shared books, patterns, fabric, and lace. To participate, just bring your swap wrapped in a brown paper bag. 

This will also be a great opportunity to get help with any special project! If you have questions or problems or issues (sewing wise) someone will have suggestions.
