Happy Easter, quilters! We are still exploring new ideas for our workshops going forward, but for the moment we have Barb Mortell’s wonderful two-day workshop to fill! We are more than half way there with registrations, so we are hoping that this April guild meeting will have more sign-ups and reach break-even point at least.
I know I am so excited to be doing my first ever “improvisation” quilt. Wow! After year and years of measure twice, cut once, I wonder if I can break that habit and learn something completely new?
Please join us for this wonderful opportunity. Several people asked me at last month’s meeting for a supply list, and so I am including it below, along with another photo that Barb sent us. Now if “black and tan” are not your colours, don’t worry – the possibilities are endless! We will be using solid colours only, so pick your favourites and imagine!
