What’s Happening in the Library
March 2025 Circle Time with Jeanelle Dech

Jeanelle Dech joins us this month to share a slipcover project using a very special fabric from KLIMAKA STUDIOS- Nandina in Denim.
Nandina’s foliage pattern creates a stunning visual presentation. The 63.5″ tall landscaped (railroaded) design includes one 52.5″ section to be used for the body of the project plus an 11″ section to be used for cushion boxing or skirting. From pre-shrinking to the final fitting, you will be guided through the entire process of the reverse-pin method using this unique fabric.
Circle Time is a benefit of PRO Plus membership. Circle Times are recorded and kept on the Library to watch at your convenience.

Preserving the Legacy of Our D&D Forum Content
The D&D Forum has been a huge source of information and connection for our community, providing invaluable insights and discussions that continue to support our industry.  Although the original website remains accessible in the Library, maintaining it has become increasingly costly and challenging.
To safeguard this rich history and ensure these conversations remain available for future research, we are converting the content into PDFs. Once these PDFs are ready, they will be uploaded to the library, and you will be notified. Soon, the website will be discontinued. However, rest assured that the content will not be lost.
If you have fond memories of this site, we encourage you to visit it soon before it is no longer available.

Quotes I’m Thinking About This Week:

“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I’m sure I’ve shared this quote before, but it resonates with me every time I read it. There are women I admire who answer questions, guide others in our industry, all without ever shaming or criticizing.  These are the women I admire.

I hope you have a great week!

Ceil

When in doubt, go to the Library!
