June 2024 Show & Tell

Lapin Loops Fabric

In June, Becky Noland from Lucy Beam and Megan Shephard from Lapin Loops were scheduled to talk about how they got started in business. Becky unfortunately was unable to attend, but we had a wonderful chat with Megan. Megan talked a lot about how she went from dyeing her own personal fabric to starting her own fabric dyeing business. She talked about the inspiration behind some of her colors and the name of her company. Such a fun visit with Megan and we’re thrilled she was able to join us.

Our members have once again been busy and it’s so fun to see a few Christmas pieces mixed in amongst the patriotic finishes. We always look forward to seeing these beauties.
