Although we were sad to have Val Beggs move back to Maine last year we are equally excited to have Leslie Smith take over the Fiber Arts Studio, now called ‘The Pajama Factory Sewcial Circle.’ Leslie facilitates many classes, for both beginners and experts, which are a great way to meet new people and design challenging pieces. Mark and I were the lucky recipients of one of her beautiful woven containers which came filled with Christmas cookies during the holidays!
