Just Do It – Pam Tennyson
Sew Day was a success.  “Quilt in a Box” involves each member picking a box to make for everyone.  We would end up with 12 blocks that are 12 inches in size.  Pam will email the instructions.  The Giving Quilt challenge involves making a quilt using the red dimple fabric in it.
