September 2009:

Our program is by Ray Steeves, an owner of 3 Dudes Quilting. He talked about the quilt shop and his partners. He demonstrated fabric used in quilts and how the differences in choices changes it. The shop offers Challenge Blocks every other month and awards a $25 store gift card to the winning entry. Blocks are made and donated by the customers for the quilts and the block winner gets to choose the charity that the quilt is to be donated. Two of these quilts were displayed. Ray also told us about the shop's use of local pattern makers with a demo of these patterns. He mentioned their Jo Morton Club and her fabrics.
