We will learn how to make a "special" block for the MLQG Raffle Quilt for our 2024 Quilt Exhibit! Demonstrations with Tess McCarthy, Dawn Pettie and Marjory Harris. This Mini-Retreat will give members a chance to help make these "special" blocks for our next raffle quilt!

Feel free to bring snacks to share if you would like.

Bring your sewing machine, a pressing mat/small iron, an extension cord and any personal sewing belongings needed to sew... including a cutting mat and ruler, a rotary cutter, scissors, a light, *a seat cushion or pillow to sit on* and anything else you think you might need!

Please bring a variety of fabric scraps to make the blocks. Strips need to be 18 inches long and at least 1 ¼ inches to 2 ½ inches wide.

Enjoy a day of SEWING with guild members AND help make some blocks for the next MLQG Raffle Quilt! Also, DOOR PRIZES to round out our day! We always have a lot of FUN when we get together with friends who "LOVE TO SEW"!

We will also have a table set up for "FREE" stuff! If you have quilting/sewing books/supplies/fabrics, etc., that you would like to offer up for free, please bring them to the mini-retreat!
