For this month’s block lotto, we are using Jelly Roll strips! This block gives us plenty of practice nesting seams. Instructions can be found online at Cluck Cluck Sew or on our website here.

Bring up to 10 completed blocks to the June meeting. (Each one earns you one entry into the lottery.) If your name is drawn, you win enough blocks for a small quilt/wall hanging (or perhaps a large one if you sew blocks for yourself as you create blocks for the lotto). No excuses, ladies – you can easily make a few of these simple blocks in an hour.!  Learn more …

Cleaning out your sewing room? Just remember, one quilter’s trash is another’s treasure! So save a few items for our May auction, complete with live auctioneer, and help us raise funds for future programs and activities while picking up a few great things for yourself!
