From The Heart Stitchers Ashland Group



 Last month we had a presentation from Beth Watkins at From The Heart Stitchers. Some of our members expressed interest in having a local sub-group that would meet up with the specific goal of making items for From The Heart. This group will be totally separate from Country School Quilters.

We now have a western Hanover group!

The Ashland Library FTH Group will meet at the Ashland Library the 4th Thursday of every month from noon - 4. It's not going to be a formal meeting. It's just a casual atmosphere where we can sit and sew/knit/crochet together while working on item for From The Heart. You can bring lunch/snacks and you can bring your sewing machine. You can come for 10 minutes or the whole 4 hours. It's really casual. It's totally open to the public so anyone can attend.

The first meeting is:

June 23 - Ashland Public Library meeting room A

noon - 4pm


Contact Vicki vickiwelsh @ protonmail dot com for questions

Just for this first meeting I'd like to know if you will attend so I can gauge whether I'll be there by myself or not. 😁
