January 27, 2020 Program
 "All Things New"

Join us as we kick off a new year of quilting and friendship.  The theme of our January 2020 meeting is "All Things New". During this meeting, our guest speaker will teach us healthy techniques to try to keep our bodies "good as new" while sewing.  The "All Things New" theme will also carry over to our show and tell.  Examples include: new-to-you quilting techniques and tools, quilt you've made for a new baby in your family, quilts made when you were a brand new quilter, art nouveau quilts, etc.   Wow everyone with your creativity as you show us what "new" means to you. ​

Fat Quarter Lottery 
Simply bring a fat quarter (usually 18” by 22”) of good quality cotton in the theme  (see below) . Sign in at the Fat Quarter Lottery table and your name maybe drawn to win a bundle of several fat quarters. Usually there is enough participation for several bundles to be created so there will be several winners each month.
