Dates to Remember!
SPECIAL IN PERSON EVENT! Join us August 23 at Causland Park (710 N Ave, Anacortes) from 4-7 for an installation of the new officers, discussion of future meetings, and a social time to visit with our FIQ friends. Bring a chair, sack lunch, drink, and one quilt or garment created/finished during COVID for a show and tell. Wear a mask if you are unvaccinated, or feel the need to protect yourself or others. We will try to social distance. I am sure we have some great masks in this very creative group, wear your best one.
