May 2017 Recap

Saturday Sew was a fun and productive day. Pine Needles quilt shop has such a wonderful space for creating. Mark your calendars – our next Saturday Sew is July 8th. Join us for fun, laughter, and stitching fun.

May was our annual guild Mini Swap. Thanks to everyone who made it and participated.

CHARITY BLOCKS
We have the perfect charity block solution to destash your stash – Scrappy Trip Around the World blocks! These blocks whip up in no time and each block only requires 6 – 2.5″ x 16″ strips of fabric. Follow this tutorial here. Quick Note: We’d like our blocks to have a solid black or dark gray center strip (which is the brown strip in the tutorial block).
