Just a quick reminder that SewGreenRochester will be closed on Memorial Day, Monday May 27th. We are open on Saturday May 25 from 10 - 5. The shop continues to be abuzz with activity as sewists hang out for open sew to mend or sew new articles. Crocheters are finding the new Wednesday crochet times convenient and the Friday knit and crochet club is always fun. Be sure to check our calendar for upcoming events, such as the Genesee Valley QuiltFest quilt show at the Gordon Field house on the RIT campus. This quilt fest happens only once every two years. It's a big one, don't miss it. Also, the 19th ward Square Fair is Saturday June 2nd. SewGreen will be at both of these events. Stop and say hello. Visit our website for lots of info at sewgreenrochester.org. In this newsletter you will read about - Susan B. Anthony Quilt Project
