Don't forget to bring:

Block of the month - your chance to win a bunch of blocks for your next quilt!
Refreshments - we like our snacks
Teddy bear clothing - distribution time is getting near!

OCTOBER 9th MEETING PROGRAM NOTES

By popular request, our program this month will be a mini-workshop. Our project will be a basic quilted cosmetic bag. 

BRING FOR THE WORKSHOP:
One fat quarter (will make one cosmetic bag) - or two fat quarters if you want contrasting lining.
Two 8"x10" pieces of batting (whatever you have leftover - thin poly or cotton)
Thread to match your fabrics
Sewing machine or rotary cutting materials (we will share)

This is not a very complicated project. The workshop will be a demo on how to make a basic quilted cosmetic bag / pencil case, along with a trunk show of more complicated projects you can tackle at home.
