OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
We have had great participation in the Boulder MQG BOM and we’ve loved seeing all your blocks you’ve made. We’ve been getting people participating online from as far away as Norway! It’s not too late to join in, get the tutorial for the January block here.
The February open sew challenge project will be to make pincushions. We are getting together a Pinterest board with inspiration and tutorials, but we’d love for you to send us your favorite pincushion patterns. Or tag @bouldermqg on Instagram and show us photos of your favorite pincushion.
