Crayon Challenge
Our challenge this year is the Crayon Challenge.  Members reached in a bag and pulled out two crayons. They are allowed to put one background/neutral fabric with these two colors and make a project with those colors.  The challenge is due in August. 
Good luck quilters!!!

 The Chinese Auction - Club members bring any unwanted quilting
items they have lying around their sewing room. 
The items are place in piles on tables.
In front of each pile we tape a brown paper bag.
Members purchase tickets @ 5 for $1 and place them in desired bags. 
A ticket is pulled from each bag and that winner gets the pile of goodies.
 Lots of fun! 
The coveted item was a sewing machine carrier. (shown above)
Candy High was the winner!




 The President's sharing moment:
 Candy showed different ideas of things to put your old
needles and dull cutting blades
into before disposing of them.
 Altoid box labeled "USED"


 Cutting blade holder also labeled "USED"



Old prescription container or empty spice containers.


Next meeting to be held March 23, 2017
