Needleart is not only for the adults, as I had the pleasure of having my two great nieces, Elise and Sloan along with two of their friends, Fiona and Shae stay with us for a few days in the loft. Much to my delight this group of young people crocheted up a storm. “All 4 of us had a great week. We didn’t make any quilts, but we crocheted, painted and made our own custom version of Monopoly. The Loft was a great place to spend a fun week.” Sloan, Elise, Fiona and Shae.
