Crazy quilt potluck
I will supply a small pre-pieced crazy quilt; each of us will choose two skeins of embroidery thread & throw them "in the pot". We'll cut the skeins so that everyone gets a piece, and then start embellishing the crazy quilts. Learn some more embroidery stitches and get lots of ideas on combining stitches.
