FAT QUARTERSRemember to bring 1 to 3
fat quarters for a your chance to wina basketful of fat quarters.
Thank You Thank you for inviting me to talk to the guild about appraisals and judging in March on “What Its Worth”. Thanks also for your questions and kind comments afterwards. Several of you asked about having appraisals done, and I think it will be hard to schedule them for after the meetings the next 2 months due to the guild programs. So, when I stopped at Prairie Pines later, it was decided to set up an appraisal day for Saturday, May 30, 2015. There will be more information in the next newsletter. Jan Sears
