On the first Monday of August, some 20 quilters gathered at the Bluffton Senior Center for show and tell, a "Quilting on the Edge" demonstration and snacks.
The Bluffton Scrap Artist Quilters meet 10 out of 12 months to share their love of fabrics, design and creativity. This month, members displayed results from a three-crayon challenge: make a quilt (small or large) using random colors drawn from a bag of crayons.
Been working on a project that required a little extra creativity, sweat equity or stick-to-it-tivness? (Or know someone who has?) Share the before, during and afters with [email protected].
