| Elizabeth Hartman's "Neon Honey" quilt |
Please join us for our May guild meeting: Quilt Trivia edition! That's right, we're having a trivia party, hosted by a professional quizmistress. There will be teams. There will be prizes. There will be snacks. There will be fun.
(What there won't be is door prizes. No tickets this time--if you want a prize, you have to earn it!)
In other news, do you wish you could get together with a smaller group of quilt people and have some sewing fun? Make sure to read the "Small Groups" section below!
