QUILTCON CHARITY QUILT
You can read more details about this year’s charity challenge on the MQG blog (thechallenge, color, alternative grid work).  Our guild is looking for a group(s) to work together to create a charity quilt. Monica Vega will be coordinating the charity quilts for our guild. An email with more details was sent out a few weeks ago. Quilts need to be finished by the December meeting. Members will choose one quilt to be sent to Austin to participate in the challenge. Any other quilts will be donated to a local shelter.

We hope to see you on Thursday!
