       Guests $5, register here.

Norene Skiles was featured speaker at CVQ's Virtual Earth Days Retreat in April.  Her "Use it Up" Program inspired all in attendance with dozens of ideas on using our stashes.  We've invited her back to explore making personalized labels for our quilts and dapple in fabric design.  Many creative quilters are using digital printing services, such as Spoonflower, to produce backgrounds for their quilts, or print multiple photos on fabric.  You won't want to miss this lecture!
