The Scrappy Quilters Quilt Guild met on Feb. 1 at the First Baptist Church in Trenton. There were 10 members present.
Members watched the videos “Cleaning Your Machine” and “Thread Tension” by Man Sewing Rob Appell.
Members passed in their 2022 UFO Challenge sheets. Number 10 was drawn for the month of February and is to be completed by March meeting. If your item is at the quilter you may take a picture of it and share. Each member participating in the UFO Challenge is to bring an item for the prize bucket.
