Dale has asked that you bring a small sewing kit with you to the conference to participate in the Stitch Doodle. This should include:

Fabric will be provided.
This sounds fabulous!
Hi! I’m a new member and would love to come to the conference! I’m not sure I could make it for all the dates. Is there a schedule of days and times for workshops and events?
