Cinnamon Sticks
The Cinnamon Sticks Triangle Reveal party on June 4 was a huge success! It was great to see the creative ways you used your half square triangles!  Visit our Events page to see a slideshow of the gorgeous quilts/wall hangings/table runners & bags.  
 
Our current half square triangle program uses 1800s reproduction fabric and we'll be trading some of our triangles with The Tater Patch in Merrill, OR!  We do have a few Cinnamon Sticks left if you're interested - all completed half square triangles are due by Wednesday, June 30. (Please see our Events page for more information on the Cinnamon Stick program)
