Hello All, As you may have heard, Freda Hopper, our long-time President of the Textile Arts Guild of Richmond (TAGOR) passed away at the end of March. To honour her memory, TAGOR will be hosting a special event on Saturday, May 6, 2023 from 11 AM to 2 PM at the Richmond Cultural Centre. Please see the attached poster for details. We invite all lovers of fabric and textile arts to drop by to share a Freda story and pick up a fabric remembrance or two. Her Celebration of Life will be held in June. Best, Vickie McLeod TAGOR Special Projects

There is an old Singer 99K Sewing machine for sale on Facebook marketplace  It is in very good condition and sews very nicely. The bentwood box has the original key and is in very good condition and I have replaced the bobbin cover plate with a new one from The Featherweight Shop in the US.
