June Program
Susan Minatrea, will talk to us about family patterns and give a talk
called "Whose Lap is it?"
Susan will also give a quick hands on demonstration for us on working
with Chenille, and share with us her unique "family" patterns.
Upcoming Programs
July 17th brings us Joan Howes.
Joan will talk about quilts through the
ages at our regular Thursday meeting, and then on Friday she'll lead a
beginner's art quilt workshop. Both are not to be missed!
July 16 - Bring your patterns/ideas for
Christmas tree skirts and meet with Johanna for more
information about the August workshop. A great way to get a head start
on the holidays!
