Our Program for the evening will be, 'HELP!, I need to finish my Quilt!' With the PUP's program coming up soon, please bring in your quilt tops where you are having a problem, a disaster, an  insurmountable issue where you need help in finishing or finding that 'work-around' to help you get your project finished, including method of quilting. All advice will be similar to that of PUP's.  This should be a fun program where you can get advice from your quilting friends 

Since we have not had an in-person meeting in 2 months, our Show 'n Tell should be almost a mini Quilt Show. Please bring in all your completed projects, tops included, to show off and have fun. See you there!
