We have had such an overwhelming request for more 1930's projects, that we are starting the Clothesline Club! We will meet monthly on the 4th Monday of the month from 1-4 pm. Each month we will focus on a 1930's block and it's history. We will also focus on a color of the month and hand out a scrap piece of reproduction fabric, that can be used in the next month's block. You can choose to make the focus 1930's block, or make a different one, using the scrap piece of reproduction fabric. By the end of the year, you will have made a minimum of 12 blocks to add to your 1930's quilt, and when people comment on your quilt, you can tell them a snip-it of history behind each block! Each month there will be show and tell, a teaching technique, history lesson, and time to sew! The cost is $20 for the year and if you bring a block each month for show and tell, you will receive the next month's pattern and color fabric free!
