Strip Exchange ~ We are offering a fat quarter (18" x 22") fabric exchange. Everyone participating picks their favorite color or theme. Sign up by Oct 4, 2017. You then purchase the kind of fabric requested by others and you will also receive the same number offat quarters strips of your choice. Deadline for the exchange is May 16, 2018. (Arlene in charge)
UFO Challenge ~ Everyone participating brings four (4) UFO's to the October 18th meeting to display to the members. You then pay $8 into the UFO pot collected by Celeste. You decide which project you want to finish first. You have 2 months to finish your UFO. (Finished means complete and useable). When finished you get $2 back from the UFO pot. If you have not finished your project without a reasonable excuse your $2 stays in the pot. If you cannot attend the designated meeting you make arrangements with a friend to bring your item to the meeting. At the end of the year a name of one of the participants is drawn and the winner receives the left over money from the pot.
Block of the Month ~ Participants pick their own fabrics. Instructions for 12 blocks are handed out during the season. (Linda in charge)
Mystery Quilt ~ Participants pick their own fabrics based on material supply list. (Celia in charge)
