A reminder that the 2026 Cobblestone Quilt Celebration of Quilts “Stitching Charleston Sunshine” Show is March 20 and 21, 2026. The new location is Trident Technical College. Stay tuned for more information and how you can enter your quilts and volunteer to help.
Challenges/Swaps: Many participated in the Ugly Fabric challenge issued last November. Sixteen participants displayed the beautiful items that they made with the ugly scrap they received. Another Ugly Fabric swap will take place in Feb to get fabric, and then in April to bring in the made object for display.
