After the 9 am meeting, Mary Moore will be teaching the workshop. She sent me the following:

We have decided to try having the winter month’s meetings (November to March) on the Saturday workshop days at 9 am before the workshop. So on February 22nd we will have our meeting and then the workshop afterwards. In March we will skip the meeting as we will be celebrating national quilting day. If we like this change, we will vote on making the change for next year.

We are extending invitations to other quilters to join us for a celebration of national quilting day. Please invite quilters to come at 10 am. Please ask them to bring a couple of their quilts and tell the stories of the quiilts. We will have a luncheon and more show and tell after lunch.
