For the June challenge, I want us to do something that will help us feel more like a community! So here it is: The June challenge is to make a friend here in our community. You can post in the main chat to find someone with similar interests, or choose a member and privately send them a message! Post here the member you got to know, and tell us something about them!

Welcome to Your Sewing & Handwork School--we're so glad you're here. Take a moment to introduce yourself in the comments below. You can share as much or as little as you'd like, but here are a few prompts to get you started: - What's your name and where are you joining from? - Which crafts do you enjoy (sewing, embroidery, knitting, crocheting...or all of the above)? - What are you currently working on--or hoping to learn? - what drew you to handwork or this community? This is a friendly, encouraging space, so feel free to jump in, say hello, and connect. You never know who you might inspire--or become friends with.
