July 26: Christmas in July: Too many parties in December? We thought so. That’s why we’ll be enjoying some “cool” fun in the heat of the summer as our own dear Barbara hosts SIS Christmas in July in her home. This will be our regular monthly meeting, plus brunch. So, plan to bring a brunch-type dish and a lot of sewing ideas for Christmas gifts and decorations. It’s never too early to get new ideas and a head start on Christmas sewing projects. Note: Limited to ASG members only.
