Finally, here's the link for the July ZOOM meeting.This fall I was finally able to attend my beloved Liberty Antiques Festival.
If you have additional projects to share with us (including blocks of the month) send pictures to and we will do our technical best to share them on our zoom meeting. For Show and Share this month, we will be featuring the submissions that have been shared in our virtual gallery ( ) since the last meeting.This months block is "Big Cross" inspired by Modern Influencer Denyse Schmidt.We will still accept last minute submissions, any pre-planning we can do will be immensely helpful. To help simplify the process, Faye is asking for everyone who plans to participate to please email her ASAP with the following information: Type of item and approximate size. Prizes will be gift certificates to Bernina-We're in Stitches. We thank Leslie White for making the challenge possible. Items will be dropped, judged, photographed and published on blog, then picked up at Bernina-We're in Stitches. To accomodate our continued commitment to safety we will use a modified format-dates and details to follow. The Annual Guild Challenge is NEXT month.
