Our program committee just finished a very successful year.
We always have a show and tell; only one was around a specific theme. It was called "Then and Now;" members were asked to bring an item from their early quilting days and something more recent.
Member trunk shows are fun.
We've had a couple of shop owners ocme in, they both came from about an hour away. One did a general "what's new in the shop - she brought some books, tools (mainly specialty rulers), fat 1/4's, and did a demo on Texture Magic. The other brought the same things, but did a demo on Accuquilt Studio cutter. They also gave a coupon for in-store purchases - I'm sure it was worth their while to come, lol.
