Please think about doing a Demo for January’s meeting. Last year we had a wide range of demos; techniques, tools, paints, machines, to name a few. Don’t hesitate to repeat what you have done in past years because we have a lot of new members. Contact me with your name and subject of the demo.
In February we will have our annual Ugly Fabric Auction. Please keep bringing in your fabric  – clean, folded and cotton. If you can’t get to a meeting, send me an email and I will arrange a pick up.
