-We swapped low volume mug rugs! Many of our members swapped 6" x 10" bricks of low volume fabric in April, and now we are using them. Beautiful! Great participation, everyone!
-We started the Cloud 9 Cirrus Solids Mini Quilt Challenge, which is sponsored by Cloud 9 Fabrics. All information was given at the meeting and later sent out in our guild newsletter. Mini quilts are due at the August meeting - you have all summer! Can't wait to see what you make, and thank you to Cloud 9!
Members received 6 fat eighths of solids. The bundle below will be a prize in our WIP It Up contest in January!
