Program Gail
reminded everyone there will be a workshop Thursday June 11 at 9:30am, we will
be making a quilt designed especially for us by Jeanne Dumphy called Beach
Balls in the Sand. The pattern features an inset circle technique that’s a
technique requested by our membership in a survey conducted last year. The cost
is $15.00, can’t beat that!! It will be held at the Green Creek Fire Hall.
There’s info about workshop supplies and pre cutting directions posted on our
blog. Bring a snack/pot luck lunch
item to share and what you want to drink.
