We will have 2-3 ironing boards and irons set up.
We will have some pins, but you can bring your own, if you prefer.
Those who wish to tie should bring a large eye needle, curved needle, or upholstery needle. We will have a few on hand. We have yarn for tying.
Bring your own lunch and beverages. Desserts will be provided.
We hope to see you there for fun, fellowship, and a few prizes!
