If you are looking for an inexpensive gift for a quilty friend or just to treat yourself this holiday season, please consider this entertaining 3-part virtual event. Sign up for one or all three. It’s a fundraiser for the Iowa Quilt Museum and a great way to spend a couple winter Saturdays from the comfort of your own home.
Please share with your quilt guild or other friends who may be interested. I am doing it pro bono, so all proceeds go directly to the Museum.
