Swaps/Challenges:  This month we showed our finishes for the Color Palette Challenge! Everyone made lovely items from blocks to minis to bags to full quilts! Check the Instagram for photos!

Charity: Continue to get those charity quilts to Carol and peruse our collection of kits to take home and put together, or make your own! 

Demonstration/Skill Share:  (Novi) Cheryl showed us how to make Y-seams! She even provided templates and fabric to try it yourself! Great job Cheryl, thank you!

Show and Share:  The Board would like to ask members to limit (if possible) the number of show and shares to no more than 2 quilts. We want to see your work! Don't forget to bring those finishes (and WIPs!) to show off to your quilty pals! Check out all our great shares on Instagram!!
