You can also pick up a pattern or kit for the next QOV project.

And, as always, regular and decaf coffee will be available plus hot water and tea bags for those who prefer that.

12:00 (approx.) – Grace Anderson will be doing a presentation/Trunk Show called “Guess What’s in My Trunk”.
12:45 (approx.) – Show and Tell. This will immediately follow the Speaker Presentation. Bring your latest creations to show to the group and remember to state your name when you come up on the stage so we can give you credit when we post the photos of your quilt on the website under Show & Tell.
At the conclusion of the meeting we ask that you help put away the tables and chairs (beige folding chairs on the east side of the room please).
