Demo Derby Day!

Many Thanks to Kathi for arranging another interesting and very informative group of demos for the meeting this month! They were all well done and many thanks also go out to the ladies who put the time into presenting them.
In case you were unable to attend, or need more information, here are some of the resources shared at the meeting.

Melanie recommends going to http://www.youtube.com/ and searching for "how to build a cheap quilting table".
Leah Day at http://www.daystyledesigns.com/has a lot of great information and a webstore with some great tools available. Don't forget to check out her blog!
