Anyone with an itch to stitch will find useful information here.
Come visit our guild. We are located in Berrien County, the extreme southwest corner of Michigan, approximately 16 miles from the Indiana border and 1.5 hours from Chicago. We meet on the second Thursday of each month from February through November at 6:30pm for social time with the regular meeting beginning at 7pm. Non-members coming to see the special guest speakers in May 2009 and September 2009 will be asked to pay a $5 entry fee. See the Maps link for directions.
