Quilt Finishing Club - Oct 05, 2022 10:30 am The new theme for this year is: Skill Building. This is a UFO Challenge Club to finish up those quilts hanging around. The way it works is you pay for a membership to the club and then every 1st Wednesday of the month is set aside for you to come and work on your unfinished quilts. The challenge rules are you have to finish a quilt (our definition is: top, binding, backing, and batting ready for the quilter) each month or you put $5 in the money Jar. At the end of the year you will have to have 10 completely finished quilts (quilted and bound) to be eligible for the money Jar. Each month we will start with show & tell and then do Skill Builder Challenge for the month...after that the rest of your day is free sew.

Cost: $ 50.00
