Open QuiltingEBHQers have enjoyed many enjoyable months of meeting in person again at the Albany Church. We've worked on projects, swapped fabric, checked out each others quilts, chatted up a storm. New! Potlucks on the Tuesday and Saturday Open Quilting events. Bring a dish to share, your own cup, plate and utensils. Wednesdays bring a bag lunch. Need some inspiration for a future project? The EBHQ Lending Library welcomes visitors to the second floor during Open Quilting hours. Browse through books in the airy, light-filled room, or check them out for home use. Read about the Lending Library here. Textile Donations will be accepted only until 11:30. All textiles are welcome, New or old, synthetic or natural. All we ask is that they be clean. This includes fabric scraps, batting, clothing & household items like linens. No foam please! Available at OQ for your use during each session: irons, ironing boards, cutting mats, extension cords for your sewing machine, large tables with risers for pinning quilts (if space allows), and design boards. Scrap Swap: you may bring fabric of any size to give away at the free table. However, if it's not scooped up by someone else, you must take your fabric home. There is no space to store any more fabric in the closets. They are quite full--crammed actually. Note: Saturday Open Quilting is currently closing at 1 pm. We are looking for host(s) for the 1-3 pm timeslot. Contact EBHQwebsupp@gmail.com if you're interested. To comply with EBHQ protocol:
