The Madison Modern Quilt Guild met on February 11th for general business and our usual sew and tell.
General Announcements
- The Modern Stitching Affair has set its instructors and classes. There are still some openings for the September 29-October 2 retreat. Check out the website for further information: www.modernstitchingaffair.com
