 Boise Church of Christ 2000 Eldorado Street, Boise, ID, United States

Local quilter Jenny Satterthwaite will be the featured guest speaker at our March 2025 guild meeting.

Minimal Improv Workshop by Ashelyn Downs

"Minimal improv is an intuitive piecing process that utilizes familiar and traditional block styles as accents while avoiding overly symmetrical or repetitious piecing.
