We will be meeting on Thursday, Dec. 20 at 1pm to spend some time talking about the Bird project that we have been invited to share at the cultural center’s bird exhibition this summer. Its voluntary, but I hope many of you will participate. Its such an honor to be asked to be asked to participate and a great opportunity to showcase some work by our talented quilters! If you plan to attend, bring your started project if you are already underway, bring your questions, any pictures, bird books, and inspiration that you want to share. Also, bring any other projects to share with the group, and any ideas for future demos and discussion.

We meet to share ideas, problems that the group can help solve, and to encourage us all to think outside the box. Our name Blocks Without Borders says it all.
