2013 NC Quilt Shows

NEXT MEETING - Monday, May 13th, 2013

Program: "Round Robin Mini-Workshops"

Members will share their talents and knowledge in this workshop. The workshops will be set up around our meeting room and everyone will be able to move around from station to station to learn many different techniques.

The following workshops will be available for us to learn about subjects you have wanted to explore. You may plan to spend about 20 minutes at three different tables to just get an idea about the subject or you can spend the whole evening at one table and learn more on that subject.

If you are planning on just watching the demos, bring yourself and enjoy. If you plan on sitting down to some serious learning of a technique, bring basic sewing, knitting or crocheting supplies. If you need more information on a subject, contact the person giving that specific workshop.
