Calendar

We hope you can join us for this opportunity to meet some of your local authors! The Ashland Public Library is teaming up with the Framingham and Hopkinton Public Libraries to showcase our talented local authors who write for adult audiences. They will be chatting about their books and spending some time on the stage to do readings or short workshops.

Bring your project (any portable needle arts welcome - knit, needlepoint, crochet, zentangle, quilting, sewing, etc!) to our casual gathering where you can work, talk, and share ideas together. We're trying two times - Mondays and Saturdays - for two months to see which is the best for our participants. At the end of October, we'll choose one to move forward.

Join us to create your own fabric re-usable shopping bag or tote bag in this simple sewing class. All fabric and patterns provided but if you want to buy or use your own fabric, you need ¾ yard of drapery weight fabric. Please bring a working sewing machine with you (if it hasn’t been used for a number of years, it will probably need maintenance). Tobi Hoffman is a terrific teacher who will help everyone construct these lovely bags.
