When instructed …. Snip it, rip it, drop it, pass it on.

  1. 1 yard becomes half yard, you keep a half yard but then pass on the other half. 

  1. Fabric for next rip is longest at the top (width of fabric)  …

  1. Half yard becomes fat quarter

  1. Fat quarter becomes … fat 1/8th

  1. Fat 1/8th becomes 1/16th …. A very small piece

Currently, other months will be guild activities … such as our annual guild auction, four corners, make and take, quilt bingo, Tea Party, etc.  We are always looking for new ideas / activities for the guild to do.  The board is hoping to be able to find other speakers to add to our calendar, but it will depend on our finances.  If you have any suggestions please let the board  know.
