April 10 Sew-in Meeting
Change of Date
|
DATE CHANGE:
April 10 Comfort Quilt Sew-in Time: 3PM - 6PM Dinner and then Regular meeting @ 6:45, show and tell and book sale. |
Program: Comfort Quilt Sew-in
Join members in making Comfort Quilts for the Parker County community. Bring your machine and supplies. Fabric/kits will be available but you can also bring your own project. Unwanted stash is welcome. We are also having a book sale that evening. We have accumulated a large collection of quilting books. Many are oldies but goodies that are no longer in print. Some beginning paper piecing books, applique books and treasures from prolific writers and teachers. Many do have dated fabrics. Guess what? The fabrics you buy this year will be dated before too long. I can’t even remember all the fabric phases from 30’s to Civil War to all the holidays and tone on tone I’ve watched quilting go through. But the patterns and techniques are all solid. We are using this sale as a guild fund raiser to pay for some unbudgeted items this year. All books will go for $5.00. If you have some books you would like to donate, please bring them. Books will not go on sale until our regular fellowship time at 6:15 so comfort quilt sewers do not have an advantage. I’m sure there will be a least one book that will catch your eyes. |
