January has a 5th Thursday. We will use this day for an extra workshop. This workshop will focus on making foundation strip blocks for community service quilts. If making foundation blocks at home, please use muslin and cut it at 11". We will trim to 10-1/2" for a finished 10" block. You can bring strips of fabric if you like or we'll use the fabric in the storage room.
