Sewing Group's Spring Boutique

This annual friend and fund raiser will be held on Fri., Apr. 17 from 9:00 to 3:00 at St. Mark's Church, 111 Oenoke Ridge Rd., New Canaan.

All handcrafts sold at the Spring Boutique are created by talented sewing group members who specialize in knitting, hand and machine sewing, needlepoint and fine crafts. The proceeds from the boutique benefit over twenty local non-profit organizations including the Visiting Nurse & Hospice in Wilton.  “Spring Celebrations” is the theme for this year’s event with handcrafts for Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Memorial Day and graduation parties and gatherings getting special attention. A selection of Spring Boutique handcrafts are currently on display in the window at the New Canaan Playhouse on Elm St.

Sewing group members will be available at the boutique to answer questions about their handcrafts or membership opportunities. Visitors are encouraged to come early, as most of these unique handcrafts are available in limited quantities and many items sell out quickly. All purchases are tax-exempt, and cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard are accepted. Visitors are welcome to make contributions to the sewing group’s “Bee a Friend” campaign to help the sewing group raise additional funds. Admission and ample parking are free.
