Speaking of Cherry Valley Library, here’s a picture of the “cherry” quilt the Guild presented to the Library at the February meeting. Thank you to everyone who worked on this beautiful quilt.
Thursday, March 4th
Come join the fun starting at 9:00 a.m. and running through around 8:00 p.m. Stay for a few hours or stay all day. Bring your machine if you want to sew. If not, bring your cutting mat and cutter. There will be lots to do. Bring a hand sewing kit and neutral thread if you would like to finish bindings. Irons and ironing boards (and extension cords) will be provided.
The next SPAM workshop is February 20th, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Cherry Valley Library. The focus will be getting ready for the NICU sew-in and the baby quilts in general.
SPAM meets every third Saturday of the month at the Cherry Valley Library.
