Moda University Mystery Postcard Quilt Club
Announcing Moda University Mystery Postcard Quilt Club. Everyone loves fabric, right? Do you like all of the wonderful designers for Moda? Do you love the colors, textures and luscious feel of Moda fabrics? Do you enjoy sewing blocks together and a good mystery? Then you will definitely want to sign up for Moda U's Mystery Postcard Quilt Club. Here's how it works:
We will meet the last Saturday of each month from 4-5pm. Each month you will receive a kit of Moda fabrics and instructions on a great postcard designed by Moda. The cost is $8 per month, and that includes the cost of the finishing kit you will receive the 12th month. The finished size of the quilt will be 64 inch square. But you won't know what it looks like because its a Mystery!
The first half of the club meeting will consist of reviewing the month's block, show and tell (please bring something you have made) and introducing you to the latest Moda merchandise. Being a Moda U club member means you will see new Moda first! The second half of the meeting SunFlower Quilts will be open for your own personal shopping pleasure. The first meeting is Saturday August 26th from 4-5pm. Come by the shop, email us or call us to sign up and get additional info.
