January 17 – Our own Connie Griner shared lots of info about “Quilting on the Cheap!” As Programs Chair, she set us a CHALLENGE – with two options (1) to make a quilt using some of the techniques she shared, and/or (2) to share from your stash or in some way assist another guild member who is making a quilt for the challenge.
Get the details of the Challenge from the handout distributed at the January meeting, called “Options for the Cheap Challenge” (Click here to see Connie’s handout on the various ways to participate.)
