What a wonderful time I had with the quilters from the Santa Monica Quilt Guild!

We are excited to welcome Michelle Banton of Little Pup Designs (Michelle Banton) to our next virtual meeting via Zoom on Wed. May 5th. Michelle will present a lecture entitled "Cotton to Consumer."

What is the process of growing cotton, creating fabric, designing fabric, having it printed and delivered to your local quilt shop? Probably much more that you ever considered. You will learn how it's grown and manufactured. You will get insights on how different designers create special lines of fabric, and how manufacturers get their goods into your local quilt shops.

We welcome guests to join us! If you're not a guild member but would like to attend this meeting, our guest fee is $5 and you may register by visiting our website: http://www.santamonicaquiltguild.org/
