Seeking donations of 2 1/2 inch strips & magazines for the Quilt Show
Susan Body and Vicki Swensen are the chairs for our magazine sales at the 2013 Quilt Show. They are changing it up a bit this year and are adding 2 1/2 inch fabric sales. They are hoping to fill a kiddie pool with these strips that can be purchased by the bag at the Quilt Show. What could be better than a dip in a pool filled with fabric! Your magazine and fabric contributions (any usable length will do) can be brought to any guild meeting and Susan and Vicki will be available for taking these off your hands or you can bring them to the Quilt Show during set up on Thursday, July 11.
