We started off 2012 with a new activity each monthly guild meeting: a strip exchange. To participate:

bring a baggie with your name on it
enclose 6 strips of a single fabric in the color-of-the-month, each cut 2.5″ by full width (~42″)
drop it off in the basket at the front desk at the beginning of the meeting

At the end of the meeting, your bag will be filled with 6 *different* fabrics.

Yes, you can bring multiple bags.

So far, the colors have been..

January: white-on-white

February: red

March: green

The upcoming colors will be listed in the “Programs” page.
