Meals for options A and B:
Breakfast and Dinner/Supper daily
Kitchenette available for lunch and snack time.
Generally vegetarian meals are provided; food sensitivites/allergies are happily accommodated.
Given the amount of noise the machines make, conversations are requested to be kept on a one-on-one level and no machine embroidery. There is an adjacent room with couches, etc. for an additional place to relax.
Project Options:
Do your own! Bring whatever you'd like to work on. One table per person.
If instruction is desired, please contact Marlene with your interests.
This was taken at night, but during the day the windows provide incredible natural light.
