AGM and Stash sale a huge success
A cold wind but warm fibre! We had full house for our annual general meeting and stash stash on Saturday the 17th.
A new board has been elected and details will be posted after the next regular board meeting.
There were lots of deals to be had at the stash sale with many balls of fibre, bags of buttons and ribbons, patterns and odds and ends going home with happy new owners!
A big thank you to everyone who came out. And a huge thank you to our sponsors. Remember to use your cards for discounts!
Many stayed on to work on the their projects and chat and catch up.
Our next event is a stitching day on Sunday, April 15th. Stay tuned for details.
New sponsor! Frames on James
Coral Fuller and her expert framing at Frames on James in Yarmouth is SOFAAR’s latest sponsor.
Coral will offer a 15% discount to all card-carrying SOFAAR members who come in to see her for framing needs. SOFAAR members wishing to have several pieces framed at the same time may be offered a higher discount!
Coral can also supply members with some materials (foam core, archival mount boards and mats) for those wishing to do their own mounting.
Please visit Coral’s website at : <framesonjames.com> or give Coral a call at 902-742-6115. Her email is : <fcf@eastlink.ca>
Below are some examples of Coral’s framed work with fibre.
Stash sale and give-away next Saturday!
SOFAAR will hold its third annual general meeting at 1:30 pm on Saturday, March 17th. A new board will be elected.
This meeting will be followed promptly at 2pm by our super fun stash sale and give-way. Come and pick up some extra stash: fabric, wools, patterns and much more!
Stay on to work on your projects with fellow fibre enthusiasts.
See you there next Saturday at St-Luke’s Parish Hall in Annapolis Royal.
