Upcoming Events
Thursday, February 20 – Third Thursday Demo – 12:30 p.m. Join us for our regular Third Thursday Demo THIS THURSDAY when Cindy Dahl and Beth Cardozo will team up to show what can be done with the new Creative Grids Hexagon Trim Tool ruler. Create perfect pieced hexagons with 2in, 4in or 6in finished centers by squaring up each round of strips as you go. Since each round is squared up before the next set is added, the blocks created are perfect hexagons. Or use the markings to cut 2 in to 8 in finished hexagons & every size in between. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Friday, February 21 – Quilt ‘Til You Wilt , 5 – 10 p.m. (a few spaces are still available)
Sign up today for this popular evening event. Bring whatever you’d like to work on (one of those UFOs maybe?) and enjoy the company of other quilters as you sew into the evening. Great way to wrap up a busy week. Bring your dinner or order out from one of the many nice restaurants nearby.
