BLOCK OF THE MONTH
We started the Block of the Month in February 2007. This project will run for twenty months. A twelve inch finished size block was decided on. In other words we will be making twelve and a half inch blocks each month, and we will each keep our own blocks to make into a quilt. If you have missed a block Patsy Glotfelty will have extra copies of the patterns.
NAMETAG
Remember to wear your name tag for the name tag drawing. If you forget your name tag you put a quarter in the bag, when it come around. The winner can usually afford to buy at least a couple yards of fabric at the end of the year, when we have the name tag drawing.
