A Note from Jennifer

The weather is warmer and thoughts turn to trips to the garden center and outdoor activities.  But don't forget your stitching!!!!!  You still need time to relax and we have a variety of projects perfect for travel, Little League practice, rainy afternoons, or just good old Me Time.  And, we have finally found a knitting teacher!!!!  Well, she really found us, but who cares?????  Look for classes to start cropping up in May.

Also, Susan, Amy  and I are pleased as punch that so many of you are joining us to stitch!  We are having a blast.  Since Malt Shops are a thing of the past, come hang out at Village Stitches.  There may not be any ice cream, but there's plenty of scoop! 

Speaking of ice cream....the original owner of the shop is pleased to have one of her two sons back in Bloomington as the proud new owner of Gene's Ice Cream.  See, it's still kind of  a small town!

Happy Stitching!
