We will be arranging carpools to make a trip to Camp Cory (formerly Camp Brotherhood) south of Lake McMurray in Skagit county. We have been making quilts for the medically challenged children who attend the camp every summer. They have extended a warm welcome for us to come visit. Details to come. Contact Merdie for more details.

January 25- Oct, 2022 - BOM- Jo H., Virginia K, Rebecca B.

Starting on Jan 25 and continuing on the 4th Tuesday of the month for the rest of the year, there will be a study group/workshop in which a Block of the Month will be presented. These are easy to make and you should be able to cut and sew the block during the 2 hr workshop. If you don't want to participate in person, you can request the instructions so you can make them at home.
The theme is Stars. BOM with individual choice of size/type (placemats, table topper, wall hanging, quilt of any size). It will probably go 9 months, depending on the choice of participants. It can include different layouts, borders, sashing, etc.
Need to bring: fabric (background, focus and coordinating fabrics). Individual choice on scrappy, coordinated scrappy or chosen fabrics.
$5 one time charge for printing. If you did not start at the beginning, don't worry....you can join at anytime and get the past patterns and make them on your own.
NOTE: please bring all the blocks you've made to the July 26th meeting.We will be discussing how to arrange blocks for your quilt and borders in subsequent meetings.
