Don’t miss this “Project Bag” SOS. Make a bag to store the projects you are working on in convenient, pretty bags with a clear vinyl front. PQG member Allison Owens will show us how to make the bag using an easy zipper technique.  [18-inch bag shown on right.]
      A second item will also be available to make——perhaps something from the Round Robins in our March meetings! Plus Allison will be happy to review or answer questions about the bags from October's SOS.
      Be sure to  sign up soon -- space is limited to 20 so that everyone has ample sewing space. You know there's at least one bag that you want——or get a head start on your donations to the quilt show Boutique. Plus, if you donate one item to the Boutique, you will receive a voucher for another SOS.
