This is our second of Three sew days planned for 2020!
Join us any time from 9am - 9pm on Saturday, August 1st for an all-day sew day.
Brief business meeting at 1pm.
Remember to bring a mask and practice social distancing!
Do not park in front of the church! All cars must be parked on side streets because the church has scheduled First Holy Communions for this day.
Upcoming Meetings

All future meetings are pending coronavirus restrictions but whether we meet in person or continue to distance learn, this is what’s in the hopper for later in the year:
- Various binding techniques and tutorials
- Color Theory lesson
- Holiday gift exchange - This year's gift - Needle Books
- Quarter Four Challenge - TBD
We are also looking into online workshops just in case we won’t be able to meet for an en extended period of time. More to follow on that!

Piecing Unusual Shapes
- Angles
- Curves
- Y-Seams
… quarantine style, unfortunately not a round-robin but more like homeschooling!
We’ve found three online tutorials that illustrate how to piece angles, curves, and Y-seams. These are fundamental lessons worthy of your quilting reference library. A link to PDF versions has been emailed to all members!
