SSQG March 17, 2011 Meeting

Hello Everyone!
The Sassi Strippers Quilt Guild will meet on Thursday, March 17th @ 6:30pm at the Jones Creek Library.  We are going to have a lot of fun, we are going yo-yo!  Our own, Dee Jeffers will being doing the demo.  She will demonstrate her circle cutter and also show us all how to make yo-yo's.  You may remember her beautiful yo-yo dolls that were displayed at the Library, she will bring them to show.  If you have any yo-yo makers bring them,  also bring a 12" square of fabric or a fat quarter to make a circle with the cutter, some thread and a needle.  Bring some yo-yo show and tell if you have any. 
See you there!
Hugs,
Linda
