1ST SATURDAY BREAKFAST CLUB
Report

We always have a great time at 1st Saturday Breakfast Club, and February's was no exception. We were packed with more than fifty people in attendance!

Our trunk show was beyond words. Thank you to so many of you for bringing in your "vintage" quilts. Each one was truly priceless and inspiring. We will be posting photos on our Facebook page, as there is not room here to put that many photos. Go here to see the pictures, and if you have not liked our Facebook page, please do while you are there!

UFO CHALLENGE - ONLY ONE MONTH TO GO!

Reminder: All completed UFO's must be turned in by Friday, March 6th at 5:00 PM.

UFO Show and Tell Party

All of the digital panels below debuted last Saturday at the Breakfast Club. Each one is simply stunning. Not sure what to do with a panel? They work perfect for quilts, wall hangings, and even bags. We offer classes on what to do with them. (Check out the class on March 6th - Panel Pizazz... where you can learn how to make a masterpiece with the calf panel.
