This is a club with a different twist—the group never meets! The object, each member receives four 1/2 yard cuts (total of 2 yards) of the newest Fusions fabrics after the 15th of each month. At the end of the year members will have 48 1/2 yard cuts. An optional challenge will be presented to club members to make whatever they want with the Fusions fabric within the first six months of 2013. In July 2013, we will have a Viewer’s Choice contest for those wanting to enter with a prize awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
We meet the second Saturday of each month to work on our unfinished projects. Optional activities include eating, power naps, learning a new quilt block, sharing tips about quilting, giving advice and planning new projects. Our group is always growing, so PLEASE, it is very helpful to sign-up in advance. Bring your own lunch or something healthy to share and whatever project and tools you will be needing.
