4/21/18 - The Sewing!!!

Welcome to the sewing portion of the April meeting of the Nimble Thimbles Quilt Bee!!  Thank you to Britt for opening her home for this extended activity.  We were QUITE the productive group of quilters!

Ruth S got right to work cutting a group order of Amish Black:

How many quilters does it take to cut 30 yards of fabric?  One, two, three.  Three!  One to cut.  One to hold the ruler.  One to make sure the fabric doesn't fall on the floor:
