"Digitizing Made Easy" Workshop

If you've ever wanted to digitize, roll up your sleeves and try it yourself. Loes van der Hejden will show you how, using Pre-Design, you can start digitizing yourself, without even knowing how to draw, and then move on to Brother's PE-Design to create the designs of your dreams. Visit Loes' blog on AnnTheGran.com

Say Hi To AnnTheGran

Meet & Greet with Ann (AnnTheGran) Cobb. Join Ann and friends in a relaxed setting that lets you re-connect with old friends (or friends from last year's Community Circle!) and make lots of new ones!

Community Sisterhood Banquet


Mary and Rita teamed up a while back to create the now-legendary "Midwest Ya Ya Sisters". Over a great dinner, they'll share their "BEST EVER" quick gift ideas. Mary and Rita both treasure and collect vintage linens and they are big believers in the value of a hand-made gift. Their specialty is QUICK GIFTS for all occasions. Because giving and making gifts is all about intention and memories. Most of all -- Rita and Mary especially value time spent with women friends. Because we're all in this together - and it's all about the sisterhood!
