There will be a freebie table, and MQA would like to invite each of you to contribute an item or two to the freebie table. These items would need to be in good, working order and quilt and/or sewing related. We all have things that we used to love but not so much now. Please give these items to someone else who will newly love them. Any donated items not taken from the freebie table can be picked up Saturday afternoon before the gathering is over. .Any items not picked up will be donated.
