St. Charles Borromeo Crop & Craft

$0.00

For those who have never heard of this event, it is a crafting retreat day to work on your own craft projects while engaging in fellowship with other crafters. It could be anything from paper to digital scrapbooking, cardmaking, knitting, sewing, quilting, needlework, jewelry making, etc. Possibilities are endless!

If we are honest, there are those who mainly come for the sole purpose of spending a day out with other crafters, talking and eating...or perhaps staring blankly at a spot on the table, relishing in the quiet. Whatever your reason, we're glad you're here.

You don't have to be a member of St. Charles to come; in fact, a great deal of attendees come just because we are a good group of crafters who know how to have a fun and relaxing day.
