Cancellation of March 2020 Meeting

Hope you are well.

I am sorry to announce that in light of all the virus changes that have happened in and around Austin, we will NOT be meeting in March.

Hopefully the virus will be contained by the April meeting so we can see your smiling faces and all the fantastic stitches you made while sitting at home staying well on the Third Monday for the HillCountry Smocking Arts Guild.

Best wishes on getting your Easter fancies completed in a timely manner.

Remember to take pictures to share when we meet again if you send your stitching away.

                backsmocking

Please bring:
     A basic sewing kit [scissors, needles,
          straight pins (need about 10 to
          block pleated strip]

     Magnification (if you need it)

     A padded board to block your pleated
             fabric strip. If you don't have one

Lots of backsmocking going on!
