November 1 -  Melissa will be teaching the convergence quilt.  If you do not wish to learn this technique you may bring your own project to work on.  There are some good examples here and you can Google 'Convergence Quilt' for more examples.  You will need to bring four 18" squares of fabric along with your sewing machine, cutting mat, rotary cutter, ruler and basic sewing supplies.
November 15 - We will have a free night of sewing. For those of you who weren't able to attend on November 1st or who want more instruction on the convergence we can go over any or all of the instruction again.
November 29 - Bring your name tag ideas to share.   Melissa will show how to do the paradox quilting pattern.  You can do it with pen and paper or you can do it on your sewing machine.   Bring your black, red, yellow, and white challenge so those who weren't able to join us last time can see them.
December 13 -  Potluck of goodies ... bring a snack to share.   Also bring a quick tip, or a great gift idea, or a great source for sewing related items to share with everyone.
