At the December meeting, we decided on a new Challenge for
2007 using our Block of the Month blocks. Those who have their quilt TOPS
done using the BOM blocks from 2007 should bring them to the January 2008

get with it this year ladies, and keep up on those BOM blocks!
FQ Swap. We're starting a new year here also.
Everyone can bring a FQ and everyone can sign up to win. Once you have
