Hello everyone,
Happy 2017
We have our first meeting of the year this Saturday. We will meet at the Kalamazoo library downtown Kalamazoo in the Van Deussen room. The formal meeting is from 10am to noon. However, we have the room from 9-1. So you are welcome to come early and stay after for some social time.
Here is a link to the library and parking.

Remember meters are free on Saturdays so no need to feed them.
Looking forward to seeing everyone. Don't forget your blocks for the drawing.

January Online Activity
Hi Everyone, I'm so sorry this is so late! I wanted to make a block and photograph the project for you but I'm running out of time, so I'm just sending you to this video tutorial from the Missouri Quilt Company, "Make an Easy Pins & Paws Quilt with Jenny!"
Fabric requirements for each cat block: 10" square of a bright modern print for the cat, and a 5"x10" light solid or low-volume print for the background.
