Make a Mini Idea Work Day | Jan 8
Mini Quilts are such fun and not TOO much of a commitment to something you want to try or learn, or focus on super high quality workmanship. Almost any design can be reduced to a mini - but that isn't necessary to create a Mini Quilt for a wall hanging or pillow. If you really like the technique used in a Mini- you could turn it into a full quilt if you desire! RMQM's Fabric & Friends Fundraiser this year will feature a MINI Quilt WALL - so why not add a MINI QUILT of yours to the wall? Our Make a Mini Idea Workshop will get you started sorting out ideas - and deciding on the Mini you want make.
