    This Just In From Camp Watch-A-Patcher 2013…

    It’s May already! Mother’s Day is May 12th and Camp Watch-A-Patcher is just around the corner.

    How about telling your kids and hubby that they can get you the gift of Camp Watch-A-Patcher for Mother’s Day this year?
    Whether it be one class, an evening program, or an entire camp experience, a book or a ruler for a class, or even just a gift card to your favorite shop to purchase supplies for Camp, it’ll be the perfect gift and an easy gift for any Mom (in addition to the chocolates).

    Haven’t signed up yet? There’s still a limited amount of openings in many classes. We also have several class offerings that do not require sewing machines. Or plan to come to our evening programs. The evening programs on Sunday (“Meet The Teachers”) and Tuesday (“Fun, Fast Fusing” with Frieda Anderson) are FREE to attend. The evening programs on Monday (“Trunk Show” with Joanna Figueroa) and Wednesday (“Trunk Show” with Kathy Brown, The Teacher’s Pet) are $5 with advance purchase.
    ….from Lyn Brown… I will be teaching four classes at Camp: Magic 9 Patch/Next Gen; Color Choice; The Tall Ship Pilgrim and Framed/Early Spring. Come and take a class with me……
