Display Case Our lobby display this month is by the Susquehanna Sewing Guild. Every year, they are given a challenge to complete as individuals, and the results are always amazing. The challenge this year was to make something using decorative stitches from their sewing machine. They were allowed to construct any type of item as long as it used the decorative stitches. When you come in, take a moment to admire their high-quality skills and the lovely pieces they created.
