Thank you so much to Amanda, Sandy, and Zsofia, who were part of leadership for 2019!
The Quiltcon 2020 charity quilt is being bound and labeled by Zsofia and Julie, and then we will send it off to the show!
The current quarterly challenge is to create a quilt derived from a board game. These quilts are due at the March 7th sew day meeting! To be entered in the yearly raffle the quilt must be finished, including binding. Use the hashtag #pghmqggamechallenge on social media!

The guild had net earnings of $1053.46 for 2019!
