February Meeting Tomorrow in Redwood City!

Come One, Come All to the next BAM meeting!

February Meeting: 02/17/2018

Redwood City Library, Community Room
1044 Middlefield Road
Redwood City, CA 94063
1pm - 3:30pm Meeting
3:30 - 5pm Stay and Sew

Things to know before you go:
  • There will be a question of the Day. You get to stand up and speak your mind about whatever quilty quandary comes up.
  • Bring Snacks and an appetite. One is good. Both is better. Last meeting, the crowd favorites were homemade apple bread and Rugelach (yes,homemade rugelach). It is girl scout cookie season, so if you can't trust yourself with a whole box of thin mints, why not share them with your fellow quilters?
  • Show and Tell is the best part of the meeting, so show 'em it you got 'em. And just like in middle school, I will be sitting shyly in the back waiting for the day when I have something to show. I keep reminding myself that we all become quilters at our own pace *sigh* there's always next month.
  • There is no "Color My Quilt" due this month nor is there a challenge due, so fellow sewing slackers can come to the meeting with a clear conscience...unless they haven't paid their 2018 guild dues.
