Joan’s Sweet Pretzel Twist Quilt Class ($15)

March 18, 2023 @ 9:00 am 3:00 pm

This is a fun, easy to make quilt using 2-1/2″ strips and a background fabric. Pull out those leftover strips! Trade strips if you want to have more variety. A jelly roll also works great. You can use as few or as many fabrics as you like. So please come and join me on March 18 from 9 am to 3 pm and let’s have a fun day. –Joan

~*~*~*~
PLEASE NOTE: We are continuing our requirements (as voted by the VPQG Executive Board) for attendees to our meetings, classes, and events to be vaccinated for Covid-19. Anyone inside the building for our rental periods must have proof they are fully vaccinated, and post-14 days from their last injection. As voted on by the Executive Board 10/7/22, while we encourage masking at all times when meeting in person, we will allow for participants to remain unmasked where we remain 6-ft apart during classes and workshops. Out of an abundance of caution we will remain masked during General meetings, as we are in closer proximity than a 6-ft distance. We will remain masked for meetings unless actively eating or drinking while adequately spaced. This is a mask over the nose and mouth, and not a face shield.

As this is part of the operation of the Guild, this discussion and vote occurs at the Executive Board Meeting and the topic will not be part of the General meeting.  Until the requirement is rescinded, not masking properly is considered a disruption and you may be asked to leave.

If you have not already been to one of our meetings or events (since 9/2021) at the FDC please send a copy of your CDC vaccination record for COVID-19 or have it ready in hand or on your phone before you enter the building
