Intra-Guild Fat Quarter ProjectsDid you take a Fat Quarter from the Intraguild table at the July or August guild meeting?
We hope you had fun matching it with some of your fabrics at home to make something special. Please bring your completed project to the September meeting so we can be inspired by what such a relatively small piece of fabric can make. |
