Show-n-Tell. Bring your show and tell for all of us to “ooooo” and “ahhhhh” over. Can’t make the meetings? Then, send a picture of your show and tell to our newsletter editor.
Every General Meeting is followed by some activity. Maybe it’s a Piecemaker’s sew-in, or a workshop (October’s is learning how to
free motion), or maybe some free sewing , or etc.
The boutique table, held on General Meeting days, has donated items and commissioned items for sale. Have too many quilted-related goodies you don't want anymore? Donate them to the boutique. Do you want to sell that extra sewing machine but don't want the hassle of selling it yourself? Turn it over to the boutique as a commissioned item. Call Jackie Blazok for details 561-965-6195
