SWAP:
April: Zippered clutch bag. Many beautiful and creative bags were exchanged. : )
May swap is a potholder. Kathleen challenges everyone to try paper piecing the top! She also brought some Insul-brite cut in 9 inch squares to the meeting for those who didn’t have any and want to participate. She also had some strips of magnets to share for those ‘thinking ahead’ to the July swap. What a sweetheart!!
