/in /by

Chat n Craft meets the first Tuesday of each month that the library is open. Because of the Covid 19 pandemic, the library is canceling all meetings for the time being.

Please keep checking our website for when the library will be open or closed and when our programming and meetings will be resumed.

Our next meeting will be a crochet class. We will be making a dishcloth with the blossom stitch. If you want to take the class, please bring a light colored cotton yarn, such as Sugar and Cream or Peaches and Cream, and an H crochet hook. If you know how to do a chain, single crochet and double crochet stitches you will be able to learn this blossom stitch. If you do not know sc & dc, please come at 5:30 so you can learn those before the blossom stitch class starts at 6pm.

If you do not want to take the class you are always welcome to bring your own project (BYOP) to work on.

Come join us for fun, laughter and don’t forget to bring your Show n Tell so we can all see.

Chat n Craft meets the first Tuesday of each month that the library is open.

We have been working on quilt blocks every month this year. We are going to discuss how to put the blocks together to make a throw. The different variations we can choose from. Hopefully I will have all 9 of my blocks completed and bring them in so we can play with different ideas. If you are welcome to bring in some graph paper and pencil to sketch some ideas for your assembled quilt.

You are always welcome to Bring Your Own Project to work on. Don’t forget to bring some Show n Tell.

Our class is going to be making a small Dream Catcher. Here is a picture showing the supplies that are used –

Notice there are different size metal hoops you can buy. We recommend a 5 or 7 inch for the class so you can get it completed during our meeting. Decide what color you want yours to be and what type of cording, pearl cotton thread, waxed cotton, embroidery floss, yarn, etc that you want to use. You will need a couple of clothes pin during the making of the Dreamcatcher. There is a close up showing charms and beads and the tiny metal rings you use to put the charms and/or beads onto your dreamcatcher. Bring something you like. We should start this about 6pm so you will have plenty of time to work on it.

You are always welcome to bring your project to work on while we are having the class. Hope to see you there.
