Darlene Miller, traveling teacher for AQG, will be joining us to discuss binding.  Either you love it or you don't so come to the meeting and see if you can get some tips to make it easier and more professional.

Our next meeting on March 5th will be Christy Fincher from https://purpledaisiesquilting.com/.

Block of the month

The block of the month from the Vintage Farm Girl book is - Strawberry.

Camp

The spring camp is April 5-9 at Emmanuel Pines in Prescott.  The cost is $100.00 for two nights and 5 meals plus a big sewing room to quilt and connect with friends.  Pay in full and you get to pick your cabin and sewing area.  See Debbie to sign up.

AQG Quilt show

The AQG quilt show is March 21-23 in Mesa.  This is a great opportunity to see lots of quilts and vendors.  It takes many hands to run the show.  Visit https://www.azquiltersguild.org/ to volunteer. This allows you to get into the show for free and you don't have to be a Nimble Thimbles or AQG member to volunteer so sign up your friends as well.

Meeting on February 5th - 

For our next meeting, we are happy to bring to our group L&A quilting.  These wonderful ladies will be doing a trunk show on their red & green quilts.  Our own Kathy O'Brien suggested this group saying it was the most memorable trunk show she has seen.

Presidents challenge -
Did you take a challenge bag?  Have you opened the bag since the meeting?  For those who have already completed the challenge, bring them back.  If you want another one or want in on the fun, there are more bags available.

Block of the month-
We are continuing with our block of the month from the Vintage Farm Girl book.  The block for January was Wooly Sheep.  Bring them in to show what you got done.

Presidents quilt-
As you know we do a yearly quilt for the president.  We are working on creating some kits for those of you that want to help do a block.  Let's all come together and show our support of the people who step up and give their time for our chapter.

Our spring camp is on April 5-7.  There are still spots open for camp so bring your checkbook to sign up.
