Workshop:  Trusting Abstract, Saturdays beginning July 15 through
August 19.  No one taught us how to make mud pies.  We trusted our hands
and our ability to make the mud work.  Beads, baubles, fabric paint, glitter and
found objects, introduce us to, or reacquaint us with, our inner muse. 
Fee:  $180 (includes most supplies).  REGISTRATION REQUIRED.





Workshop:  Quilting in Self-Portrait, Saturdays October/November.
The lines and subtle nuances of our face capture the essence of our spirit.
Through creative writing, life stories, journaling and quilting, our portrait
becomes a memory vessel as we celebrate our challenges and victories. 
Fee:  $180 (includes most supplies).  REGISTRATION REQUIRED.

There's always something new and creative happening at Abyssinia.  On Saturday, May 27, Karen, the hat lady stopped by with a full line of fine millinery.  Karen's hats are original designs from some of the top milliners in America, Canada and Europe.

With our
QUILT SHARE AND TEA coming up on June 17, we thought it might be a good idea to wear hats. 

Here are a few photos of us having fun with hats.

To schedule your own hat party, contact Karen at
