Let’s gather for another session of Big Blue Book Club!

Save the dates . . . the next Big Blue Book Club will be held on Thursdays, September 10-24 and the book is The Art of Gathering: How we meet and why it matters by Priya Parker. In Extension we meet all the time. This book explores how to make gatherings more productive and meaningful by focusing on purpose, design and participant experience. It challenges our routine ways of meeting and encourages thoughtful, engaging interactions that truly connect people. Monica Mundy, Extension Professor for Family and Community Health will lead this session via Zoom. Registration starts on July 15. Visit our Big Blue Book Club website (https://fcs.mgcafe.uky.edu/home/big-blue-book-club) for the registration link.

Participants selected from a variety of projects and left with beautiful handmade creations and new skills. Programs like this not only help build sewing confidence but also provide an opportunity to connect with others who enjoy crafting and lifelong learning.

A special thank you to Master Clothing Volunteer Sandra Arrowood for sharing knowledge, encouragement, and expertise throughout the class. We appreciate the time and talent invested in helping others develop their sewing skills.

We're especially proud of the creativity showcased in this adorable finished project! It was wonderful to see participants put their own personal touches on their creations and leave with something they made themselves.
