TONIGHT’S PROGRAM: Feb. 3 Program - What happened to my 4 patch

NEXT MONTH: Meeting March 24. To be determined.

Membership dues
This past year the members voted a change in the dues structure. “New members will pay $15 their first year and @|$12 thereafter. Current members (paid members from the past year) that renew in January or February of the new year will pay $12. Prorated dues will change to a flat $7.50 for those joining July and after plus $12 for the next year.” So you can save money if you pay your dues by the February meeting.

Saturday Sews
Feb.1 =- Strip pieced rails and chain quilt
March 1 – Continuing Rains and Chains quilt

From the new officers:
Welcome to a new year filled with enthusiastic quilters. We hope you enjoy and maybe try
something a little out of your quilting comfort zone in 2014. We have taxed our "creative"
minds to bring you programs that appeal to all levels of abilities. Happy quilting new year.
Pat, Mary, Karen and Patty
P.S. We always welcome your suggestions for programs or improvements.

Pre-cuts are a wonderful time saver you can use when making some quilts. How many charm packs ( a 40-42 pack of 5 inch squares) should you buy for a project? Some packets are 20, some 40.. If you are buying for the larger sizes, you might want to use a Layer Cake, which is 10" squares. One pack is equivalent to 4 charm packs.
