GLOBAL QUILT CONNECTION: MEET THE TEACHER EVENTS
Rather than holding several live events to watch teaching videos the Global Quilt Connection will be making them all available via YouTube on October 4, 2021 and you can watch them at your convenience. Each video block will contain a 3 minute video for up to 20 teachers. Watch them all and you’ll have a chance to win a huge prize basket full of goodies for your guild (or yourself)! Details on that are below. Make sure you’re signed up for their newsletter to receive a notification when the videos are available. https://www.globalquiltconnection.com/webinarregistration.html https://www.globalquiltconnection.com/webinarregistration.html
