Our guest speaker for February was Susan Hastings and her sister Connie. Susan represents Shannon cuddle fabric company. |
Connie passed out "Olympic Medal" favors - so nice! |
Shannon told us about her business and how she got into it. Seems like a lot of people wanted a cuddly quilt but did not know how to make one. |
She explained about different brands and types of cuddle fabrics, also known as minkee. One tip to remember with cuddle fabric... never use liquid fabric softener when washing them! |
