Regular chapter meeting March 3, 2020 7-9pm Holy Trinity Luthern Church, Chandler

We have Louise Haley bringing a trunk show to us. Louise has been quilting over 40 years with about half of those long-arming as well. Louise teaches beginning and intermediate classes at Bolts N More. She takes a positive approach to teaching beginning quilters, encouraging their work to keep their interest in quilting. Louise’s quilting is primarily modern, though she has quilted with reproduction fabrics. Come Tuesday and see a fantastic trunk show with Louise!

Plus, community will share any finished quilts we have. Bring your show and tell. Many quilters from Nimble Thimbles won ribbons at the Tucson show and the AQG show. If you won please bring your quilt to show!! We are so proud of all our talented quilters.
