This is a reminder that our October meeting will be on the 10th at Slater Mill at 6:30 pm.
The Block of the Month is Churn Dash (http://quilterscache.com/C/ChurnDashBlock.html). Color choice is up to the maker. The blocks will no longer be raffled off. Each person will keep her own blocks and they will be used to complete the President's Challenge in September 2013.
The Fat Quarter for October is to be an Autumn or Thanksgiving theme.
