Join us at the Pruyn House for a series of Stay and Stitch evenings, beginning this Thursday from 5:30-7:30. We'll gather in the parlor, and return the space to some of its original uses: socialization and handiwork! Bring your current project, be it needlework, sewing, scrapbooking, or something else (as long as it is portable and won't make too much of a mess in our historic home)! Looking forward to seeing you then!
