This is the 1st of 3 Ribber Workshops on my travels, this one is in Detroit Michigan at the home of Marilyn Regal, it was in her basement which is huge, well big enough for all of the students. A good time was had by all, all the samples were completed by most of the students and all put in a 3 ring binder for future reference. Lunch was a brown bag affair at Marilyns dining room table. Thank you to Marilyn for hosting the workshop.
The 2nd one is in Cleveland Ohio hosted by Sue Jalowiec, (Bonnie Triola Yarns) it was held in the Holiday Inn, the same one as the the seminar was in last September. Lots of fun and learning and fixing of machines, I was glad to get them fixed and the machines now working properly, no more frustration. Thank you to Sue for hosting the workshop and to Charlotte for driving me to Pittsburg.
The 3rd one was held in Indiana Pennsylvania, it was held at one of the members house it was a huge room on the 1st floor. All the ladies had a great time and learned a lot, more fixing of machines which helped with the frustrations, now all want to do more on the ribber. Thank you to Ruth Schnell and all the ladies that I stayed with and drove me, thank you Mary Sue and Pat.
