Sunday, Aug 23

Group brunch 10:30 am – There are a few places we are suggesting as it can be very difficult to get a spot for a huge number of people. But we would encourage you to meet in the lobby to go to one or two of these as a group to continue the camaraderie and fun.

• Specialties Cafe at University Village – quick(ish), easy, casual, and you can order separately and eat outside.
• Portage Bay Cafe – delicious but very popular, better for smaller group
• Wayward Vegan Cafe – great reviews online
• Sunflour – a delicious bakery and cafe
• Franks’s – Oysters and other fancy brunch items
• Chaco Canyon – Vegetarian and organic and yummy

12:30 – 2:00 pm – Freezer Paper Piecing demo with Allison Dutton of Seattle MQG, held at Quilting Mayhem in Snohomish   UPDATE: Directions for freezer paper piecing can be found here on Allison’s blog
