BRQG GENERAL MEETING (pictures will be coming soon!)
NOVEMBER 28, 2016
Over forty Big Red Quilters gathered from 6 – 9 pm at Beechwood Reformed Church in Holland to learn the beautiful craft of Wool Applique. Each person went home with the ability to complete a small project thanks to excellent instruction from members Jackie Bailey, Kathryn Bandstra, Kathy Mueller, Pat Navis, Barb Post, Sue Schultz and Mary Voss. The instructors had an inspiring display of their own work available for viewing.
President Pat Navis showed 8 completed charity quilts which will be donated to the Holland Police and Fire Department. She has an ink stamp that will be used for labels on all Big Red charity quilts.
Several members shared their recently completed beautiful creations at Show and Tell. Special thanks to all who helped prepare kits, taught a class, brought refreshments, set-up and knocked down tables and arranged for door prizes.
