- Several members who attended QuiltCon shared their experiences with us...what they saw, what they loved, what they bought, etc. If you were inspired by what you heard, and would like more information about upcoming conferences, be sure to visit the QuiltCon 2016 and 2017 pages. It's never too early to book your room.
- Julie from the Charity Committee announced our projects for this year; which can be found on our Charitable Activities page. If you are a dues-paying member be sure to check your email later today for more detailed information.
- Casey from the Swap/Challenge Committee led the "Focal Fabric Swap"; which had us learning a bit about curating a collection of fabric. If you participated, be sure to purchase and bring with you to the April meeting, 4 quilt-shop quality modern fat quarters which are inspired by the focal fabric you borrowed.
