Greater Birmingham Fiber Guild March Meeting Announcement

Date: Saturday, March 9th, 2024

Time: 10:00 to Noon-ish

Location: Hoover Church of Christ, 3248 Lorna Road, Hoover

Our program this month is: Quilted Mug Rugs

For our March meeting Gwen Cox, with the Birmingham Quilters’ Guild will talk to us about quilting, and lead us in making 4” quilted mug rugs. The Guild will provide all materials, but if you would like to, you can bring your own cloth: a 4 or 5” piece of cotton or linen for the front (something pretty), and a slightly larger square of cotton for the backing. You could also bring a thimble, if you’d like.

If you’re planning to come to this month’s meeting, the Program Coordinating Team would like a head-count, so they can know how much material to prepare. Please respond to this email to let us know if you’re planning to come.
