Measurable Outcome(s)
The audience attending this program was mostly seniors with crafting experience. Reviews were mixed and we received our first "poor" review for any Legacy event.. Comments included: Sad sad sad the word "wool" was never used; never should have started a beginner on something so difficult to needle; Great program and introduction to penny rugs
