In 2009, after looking for a group in the Fairfax City area for sewers/knitters/quilters, etc. and not finding one quite close enough, I figured why not start one? Our group is for people looking to stitch with a group to complete all those projects we've started and not completed, and to gain inspiration from others on new projects. Our group is very diverse in experience level, age, and craft. I think that has led to the most fun! No two meet ups are ever the same.

The purpose of the group is to gather people together who want to work on album projects, paper crafts, or digital albums. Anyone with an interest in preserving their family history or photos should come join us for the fun.

For decades, I have continuously expanded my craft to re-create the energies of musical performance and of recorded sound in the 3D space. My goal has been to redefine th …

Hi all, As a divorced baby boomer thinking about retirement I'm interested in finding an alternative to living alone or in a high-rise retirement building.
