Everyone is invited to our scrap exchange party on Saturday, Feb. 18. at 10:00. Just call the shop, or stop in to sign up. Then get ready: Cut (145) 6" squares in neutral/ and (145) 6" squares of any other color to bring to the exchange. Don't buy anything! Search your scraps! Remember that fabric you bought and then decided it just did not work for what you were doing! Cut it up to exchange. What about that fabric you liked a few years ago that just does not appeal to you anymore? Someone else will love it! Remember, famous scrapper, Bonnie Hunter, says- once you cut it up small enough ANYTHING GOES !!! It just becomes a color in your quilt. You will leave the exchange with the same # of squares you brought, BUT they will be different squares and hopefully will inspire you to start cutting and scrapping. We'll also be sharing a pattern with you at the exchange with 8 different layouts- as well as lots and lots of scrap ideas- so come and join the fun! Just remember to sign up so we know how many patterns to have ready to hand out. There is no charge to come to the scrap exchange party.

**Please see yearly schedule posted in the classroom and on our website- some months club meetings have been moved from their “regular day” because of a conflict with events such as the “Airing of the Quilts”, state symposium, shop hop, or our annual retreat.
