The guild's first quarterly challenge of 2020 is to create a quilt inspired by a board game (or lawn game, computer game, ect.). 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!
Financial Report:We took in $125 in January for dues, and we spent $1062.70 on MQG dues, rental space for the Spring workshop, purchasing a new projector, and postage/supplies to send the quilt to Quilt Con.
It will please the group to know that our charity quilt has made it safe and sound to Austin!
Don't forget if you are going to QuiltCon to meet up with others from the guild to get a photo with our beautiful creation!
Leadership also met in February and has been hard at work completing the program set for 2020, and it's shaping up to be an awesome year!
