Ruti's Needlebed
One of the Block of the month quilts is called "A Toonie a Time". Come each month and for a toonie, taxes included, you will get the fabric and instructions for a block. This is a fun way to try different patterns which could be used for a whole quilt. All the blocks use thangles which is a fast efficient way to make 1/2 square triangles.
Ruti also has a Quilting Club from 1 pm to 3 pm on the second Friday of the month. Come learn a different technique each month as you experiment with exciting ideas. You will sew at the class and go home with a new project started. Membership is $30 a year.

The fee is $5 per person for half a day or $9 for a full day payable to the front office. Book ahead of time.
