From the President

Hello Quilters!
 

 

Don't forget Guild meeting time has changed to 6:30. No community sews until after the new year. If you took blocks to work on you have until January to finish them. After Beverly posted the potato chip quilt on our FB page, I decided to make one for me. The block is super simple and fun. Keep working on your Heart Challenge. November's program is on Color/Value Theory by Marilyn Sikes. December is our Pot Luck and items for C. Carter Crane House.
