SUMMARY:Happy Scrappy Swap Meet
DESCRIPTION:oin us for a Happy Scrappy Swap Meet. Bring no more than one grocery store bag of scraps to swap with old and new friends.  Everyone will add their scraps to a table—it’s free game from there! Just be kind… and no fighting over the florals. 😊\nWe’ll have scrap-friendly patterns available for purchase if you need inspiration or bring a project you’ve been meaning to finish.\nCost: $10\nFree for Sew Thrifty Members!\nScrap Guidelines:\n\n\nClean\, quilt-shop quality fabric from a smoke-free home\n\n\nIn good condition (no 20-year-old shed finds\, please!)\n\n\nMinimum size: 5″ x 5″ squares or 2.5″ strips at least 5″ long. We all know someone who uses 1” squares\, but that’s not what we’re going for here.\n\n\nNew here and don’t have any scraps? No problem! Bring what you have and take what you need — some of us have more than enough to share (I’m not naming names though).\nSwaps are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM.\nA reservation is recommended to guarantee your seat at https://www.shopmyquiltypleasure.com/classes.htm.

SUMMARY:Another Story Untold - author discussion
DESCRIPTION:I have been invited to speak at Jefferson City High School for an author visit where I will be presenting to students about my book\, Another Story Untold\, and leading a discussion centered on mental health awareness\, self-expression\, and resilience. \n Event Details: \nDate: April 30 \nTime: 9:40–10:20 AM \nLocation: Jefferson City High School Library \n During this visit\, I will be sharing my personal journey\, one that includes overcoming adversity and finding my voice through writing. Through my memoir\, I share my journey of overcoming childhood trauma\, including abuse\, and how I transformed those experiences into a message of healing\, resilience\, and empowerment for others. \n My goal is to encourage students to embrace their stories\, understand the importance of mental health\, and feel empowered to express themselves. \n I believe this story is important to cover because it highlights the impact of lived experiences\, the power of storytelling\, and the growing importance of mental health conversations among youth. It also reflects positive community engagement and representation\, showing students that healing and purpose are possible.
