August Meeting Recap

Our August Open Sew guild meeting was awesome!

• We had an Open Sew Challenge! Tracy prepared bundles of donated fabric for charity quilt tops for those who wanted to participate for a prize. The competition was heated. 🙂 At one point Amy and Kimberli were neck and neck. Ultimately, Amy finished first and Kimberli came in at a close second. Way to go ladies!

• There was a “Free Table” set up at the meeting. So many goodies to choose from. We are considering practicing this concept at future meetings. Stay tuned for details at a later time.

• We had our Dumpling Pouch Swap and our 2nd Quarter Bee Block Swap and overall, a great time!
