Upcoming workshops:5th Tuesday - Nov 29, 2022 - Field Trip
A field trip has been arranged to go to Over the Rainbow on Camano Island. If you've never been there, be prepared to be overwhelmed with fabric. It is a fabric warehouse and all fabric is arranged by manufacturer. So if you know what you're looking for, you'll probably find it! They have helpful staff to find just what you want.
Here's the details: Meet: at 8:15am to carpool in parking lot in far corner from the At Home store near Joann's. Leave at 8:30 Shop from 9:30a- 12p Stop in Stanwood for lunch after. Please let Marilyn C. know if you plan to do that. 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 what you have completed or in the process of completing for the Nove 22 meeting. Also bring ideas of what you want to learn in this study group in 2023.

August 30, 2022 - 5th Tuesday field trip
Merdie arranged for us to take a field trip to Camp Korey south of Mt. Vernon where the Camp Brotherhood used to be. It is now a camp designed for medically challenged children to attend with specific medical support. Many members have made twin sized quilts and donated to the camp to be given to each camper to take home with them. They are also requesting pillow cases as well. Sue P. has challenged each member to make at least one pillow case by January business meeting. The following slide show are a few pictures of the camp and lunch at Calico Cupboard in Mt.Vernon. Many took a trip to Calico Creations for a shopping trip!
