Lucky Blocks
A block pattern is published each month in the newsletter. Members are encouraged to make a block (or several) to turn in at the next meeting. Members receive one chance, for each block they turn in, to win a set of blocks. One set of blocks per participant per drawing.
If you make two blocks, one for guild and one for yourself, you will have a quilt top at the end of the year. Everyone who finishes and shares their finished quilt top will be entered to win a prize! If you need help, please call or email Laurie Paurazas and she will answer any questions you may have.
