Our Workshop Sunday, September 11th. From 10 – 4 will be devoted to finishing our quilts for the October Falling Leaves Quilt Show.  Please sign up to attend this class in advance.  There will be people there to assist you in various stages of completion. Eg. Binding, adding a sleeve, how and where to put your quilt show label and how to prepare your quilt for the show. Small things like lint, thread removal, the best way to fold without leaving permanent creases.   And if you are still putting the pieces together come and join us too.  Six hours of camaraderie while piecing or quilting will get you to the finish line.  The fee is $5 to cover the cost of the building rental.  Bring lunch.  Set up is 9:30 a.m.
