February Guild

Here is the next blocks we are doing this month.  Pick one of the 6 or do as many as you want.  Each one completed you get 2 owl bucks.  These blocks are found

Retreat MArch 8-9 @ The Homestead

Here are what the 2 options for the drunkers path at retreat look like.  The red and white one you need 1/2 yard of 2 fabrics.  For the one on the left you need a charm pack.  These will be fun to make.

Also for the design challenge that Sally is going to show us how to start at the retreat you need (4) 9x11 or bigger fabrics.  You want (2) light and (2) dark fabrics.  You want lots of contrast.  Sally is going to show us how to do a 1/2 square triangle method.  We are going to make blocks and then will exchange and then do another step.  This is all I know about it so far.  The design challenge will be due in October.
