WOW! What a great turnout for the first meeting of our new year! The room was filled with enthusiasm and lots of diverse ways to share this wonderful art form we all love! It was good to see current members, new members and some returning members many whom shared their latest creations in our show and tell!

All of our year long activities lead up to our Quilt Show which I know many of you have asked about. Please know that we have some challenges this year to overcome and it is our intention to update you at our October meeting.
