Stitch it Up or Stitch it Down, but always Stitch it Together! Here are a few projects to do alone, as part of a group, for yourself, or for the Guild and Community Service projects:
Quilt Show Sale Items: with our Quilt Show scheduled for September 29 & 30, 2023, this is a great time to start making some quilted or sewn items to sell at the Guild fund raiser table. Some suggestions include mug mats, bowl cozies, key fobs, wallets/coin purses, placemats, fat quarter cupcakes. Perhaps you’ve got old quilt magazines, patterns, a table runner, bed “rug,” or quilt you’d like to donate? Do you have other ideas? Please let Karen know and she’ll add them to the list.
