Silly moon Quilting Ruler Class for $25.00 great deal that day when you take the class and if you purchase a ruler you get $10.00 off. So that would make the cost of the class $15.00. No additional fee for Brookwood that day as it will be covered by Crescent Quilters.
There is a sign-up sheet please sign up so we can finalize the class asap.
Community Quilt’s; Donna suggests 9 patch, anything you like, disappearing all types of variations.
Missouri Star has a great you tube video on disappearing 9 patches.
Donna showed samples of different options for these community quilts.
Donna also received a letter from Julie Dahl, Coordinator Volunteer Resources Peace Arch Hospital.
Thanking us for our generous donation of 56 quilts. For those new to the group, it has become tradition that the quilts are given to new residents shortly after they move in and get settled. The recipients appreciate this as is can be overwhelming and very sad for some to make this move. There will be another unit opening in the spring so more quilts are needed.
Please remember to sign in and sign up for show and tell.
We will have a short break and then let the fun of strip poker begin.
We divided into three groups. Each group had a winner. The prize was black and white strips, approximately 40 each. People had a great time!
