Carla Klop from LaBelle, FL joined us this week as our National Speaker. She did a wonderful trunk show and gave us a glimpse into how she makes half square triangles using the strip method. She will be teaching the Shortcut Sheet Method class tomorrow to those guild members who paid for the class. Thank you to Carla for a wonderful lecture.
