Our speaker was HollyAnne Knight from String & Story quilt shop in Duluth GA. She is very enthusiastic about machine quilting! Check out her website for online classes, and lots of free videos on YouTube.

Quilt Show – Kandra Waugaman

Kandra still needs quilt show volunteers. Contact her if interested. She will need volunteers from noon on Tuesday Feb 25 for judging, as well as during the show to hold and carry quilts. Please sell raffle tickets for the blue and white antique quilt. Bring the money along with tickets to the quilt show.

Also bring any raffle baskets to the quilt show.

There is a Quilt Show Entry Form in the newsletter. You can enter up to 3 quilts. Provide a form with the story of your quilt, and $5 for each quilt. Turn in quilts by Sunday February 23. We will collect them at the In-Town Retreat or other locations to be announced.
