BQE Guildtique 2023

The next BQE is less than a year way and we need lots of inexpensive items to stock our Guild Table!  Besides being fun to make, and, of course, most importantly, a source of funds for SFMQG’s charity projects, the small items we produce will be excellent hostess gifts, stocking stuffers (for next Christmas), and useful for our, and others’ quilting needs.

            We are going to post several projects each month through February 2023. Each link will be to a YouTube video, which usually includes a list of materials. You may find other videos that you prefer, and that’s fine. Please make as many as you can of the items that interest you, not necessarily in the month they appear. We’ll collect them periodically. Send photos to our website for ‘Show and Tell.”
