The weather turned out to be beautiful, although windy, and the artists’ talent was \n on full display in their vendor booths. It was so nice to have a little bit of “normal”. I am super \n hopeful that there will be more and more of that in the months ahead of us. We will all have \n an opportunity to get out and about a little closer to home. Our Lakeland Original Sewing and \n Quilt Expo is here and even though it is a little smaller this year, I am glad that they have \n decided to come here as scheduled. Some of us may still not feel comfortable with mingling in \n a crowd. Completely understandable. To you I would say, find other ways to connect with the \n things you love. Maybe even try your hand at a new skill. Maybe an online class, or that \n craft/hobby that you have wanted to try but never have. Personally, I am taking an online class \n on needle felting. I am really enjoying learning more about this art form and am excited to use \n what I am learning in my quilting! What about you? Never stop learning! It keeps you young. \n Quilt on, my friends!","bbox":{"left":0.10298,"top":0.130328,"width":0.758846,"height":0.237311}},{"text":"Sewing Expo Thank You","bbox":{"left":0.342827,"top":0.473109,"width":0.25649200000000005,"height":0.020181999999999978}},{"text":"I wish to thank everyone who has donated a few hours of their time to man the Ladies of the Lakes \n booth for the Sewing Expo on March 18,19 and 20, 2021.

When you enter the RP Center go to the Volunteer desk and they \n should have your nametag. I hope you all have great fun and spend lots of money.
