things for sale there at guild. Bring your wallets, checkbooks and/or credit cards.
Also we will hear from Alicia Campbell, The Batty Lady, about the ins and outs of batting. Make sure you check out her
batting .
In the afternoon from 1pm to 3pm we will
be holding a Round Robin to share information and demonstrate techniques. Alicia Campbell will talk on Wonderful Threads,
Kathy Dunham will demonstrate binding techniques and there will be two stations demonstrating items that we hope you will make
for the 2018 Quilt Show Boutique (a cute hanging pod for those small items and a wallet). The cost is $5 to cover the handouts
you will receive.
