Instead of a mystery quilt this year we are going to be doing a sew together quilt. We will all be working on a string quilt. Each month you will be bring one or more blocks in to show the club at the monthly meeting. There is no rules for what method you follow just that you complete one block each month. I am going to post examples/links of some quilts to help you pick the theme/pattern you will be going with. Some Themes are scrappy, rainbow, same color family, and selvages. Another way to help your design is to look up #stringquilts on Instagram. Cant wait to see everyone's first block at the January meeting!

Since it has been so long since we have met in person, I thought it would be a great time to make a new name tag. You can wear this to each meeting so we can get to know everyone names a little easier. How it will work is you make your name tag bring it to the meeting and the members will vote on their favorite! The winner will win a prize!
Rules:1. Must be able to read your name
