2010 CHAPTER EVENTS
Our Fort Wayne Chapter of ASG is pleased to be able to offer our members special events throughout the year. The neighborhood groups offer you numerous opportunities on a regular basis to meet friends and share a common interest in sewing. The Special Events are created to offer the opportunity to gather as an entire Chapter and participate in activities that cannot be presented on the NG level. These events are being planned by your Chapter Advisory Board now. We are always eager to receive comments and suggestions regarding future events, so feel free to Contact Us.

Some of the items pictured here will be available in a kit form while others will require you to cut the pattern out yourself. A few of the projects have a limited quantity available.
