Parties are held at 1212 Horizon Blvd Lebanon, PA 17046 717-228-0905
About my parties: Everything you need to complete any party project is included in the fee (with just a few exceptions). Just bring your smiling face and a desire to create something. Most parties do not require special skills. I choose party themes that interest me, but if you would like to create something not listed, chances are I can create a party for it. Private parties are welcome, and can accommodate larger groups. I can even come to you with some of my projects.
Got an idea? Just Ask!
Light refreshments are always served, but for longer parties, bring a lunch if you want.
NEW:
Starting February 1, 2023 I am instituting a 4 person minimum at each party. If less than 4 sign up, I regret it, but will have to cancel the party. You will be notified via email or text.

Punch Needle 101
$80
Many of you have been asking for this one, and although I have punch needled occasionally since the '80's, I wasn't sure I knew all I needed to offer a party. So for the last 6 months, I have been experimenting with different threads and methods and have honed my skills enough to confidently offer this.
Each participant will go home with a Ultra-Punch Punch Needle, a Morgan Lap Stand Hoop, 3 completed Mason jar lid decorations or ornaments, and enough supplies to do more projects at home.
This party will be a pre-requisite for upcoming Punch Needle parties, where you will use your Ultra-Punch Needle and Lap Stand again. So this is an investment for future projects. Once you have this equipment, future parties will only include the pattern, floss and cloth, and will cost considerably less. |

Choose from Set 1 or Set 2
$40
