We are in need of members to sign up for demos for our meetings. Please let one of the leaders know if there is a demo you would like to do. You can demo any technique you would like to. According to the survey results, the most requested tutorial was a hanging sleeve tutorial, but other popular choices were tote bags, hand quilting, EPP, paper piecing, and free motion quilting. We would also like someone to do a curved piecing tutorial.
