Schedule

We are often asked about Barbara's Schedule. This page contains a list of her plans. It will be updated several times a year. You may also e-mail us at woolleyfox@verizon.net with specific questions.

We will be keeping you updated on some of the "hook-in's" and fund raisers for the ATHA Biennial - new information will be added as we receive it. And yes, Barb will be teaching. If you have never attended a Biennial before this is surely the time to do so. There will be so much for everyone to see, do and learn. Just lots of fun.

On the 30th of October, 2010 the Brandywine Chapter of ATHA will be hosting a "Hook - In" which will benefit the Biennial. Terry Dorr of Dorr Mill Store will be the Guest Speaker. Among the auction items will be rare paisley pieces from the PAISLEY QUEEN Cynthia Norwood and luscious dyed wool from Gail Dufresne. For more information on the fun "hook-in" visit the Brandywine web site at http://brandywinerughookingguild.weebly.com/
