And something NEW!  Starting in April and running through the September meeting, each meeting you bring a Sew & Tell item to share with the group, you will get your name in (one time max per meeting) a Very Special Drawing!  You could get your name in SIX times if you bring Sew & Tell to all six meetings.  Intrigued?  Let's all get to work and finish something up by April 17th!  

Also, we're going to kick off a "Quilt Along" at this meeting.  The pattern will be introduced, and you will receive fabric requirements.  Optional, of course, but it will be fun & instructive!
