We have started a NEW Quilt Challenge, and anyone can join us! We are doing a Clue Mystery Project! Come on into the store, register with us, and draw a person, weapon, and room Clue card and develop a project! This can be a quilt, a knitting project, embroidery, painting...anything that you want that gives the clues to the cards you drew.
So for example, if you drew Professor Plum with the knife in the kitchen, you might make a purple apron with a embroidered knife cutting a tomatoe on one of the pockets. BUT mums the word....don't tell anyone what you are making or give away your clues until July.
In July when we meet, everyone in the group will guess the Whodonits! Everything will be displayed in the class fo the month of August, for our state fair customers to make guesses on the person, weapon and room! This should be fun, so please register and join us on Wednesday, April 28th at 2:30 pm. Remember to bring your show and tell.

Show and Tell
Lot's of Show and Tell's this past week! Love seeing everyone in the store and having you share with us your projects!
Suzanne shared her finished quilt in UFO Club last Friday! She likes this quilt because it uses bigger blocks of fabric and can easily by used with a layer cake, as each block measures 5" x 10"
Diane is a new quilter, and look what she did for the Starz Challenge Group! Awesome job, Diane!! I also loved the back of the quilt!
Another Starz Challenge quilt top completed! Sharon, some of those stars are very little...sure that was a little challenge! Your quilt is so lovely, bright and makes me happy every time I see it! Lovely!
Val, everyone oooed and awed over you quilt and your fabric choices..stunning!!
Pam shared her Dog Quilt yesterday during our Let's Celebrate Spring Mystery Block Group! We all loved it and reading, laughing at your dog squares and their messages!
