[email protected] Memo From Mary:
Happy Happy Happy Spring!
It feels good to shed layers and put on the shorts and flip flops! I can’t believe that it has been 3 months now that I have owned Calico Station. We have accomplished a lot in that short time. We are half way through the classroom/creative studio, remodel. My goal is to create an environment where you are comfortable. A place where you enjoy coming and allowing your creative energy to flow. Where you meet old friends and make new ones, while you create something you love. We have 2 new members to the Calico family! Rebecca Quinones and Jerry Mulvihill. They will both be traveling up to Chicago for BERNINA training the last week of April. Rebecca has been very instrumental in updating our internet activity, ie…web-site & Facebook. Jerry is our NEW TECH! He comes with vast knowledge as a retired Air Force pilot. We have a great couple of months planned. Sign up and join us for all the fun! Gratitude and Sew On!
