Getting to know our members
Introducing our member HillaryL to present “Paloma”, and CharlotteN to discuss its quilting, as a collaborative effort including Lolo, CathyW, DebbyS, NancyP, LindaG and JudyS accepted in the group division at Quiltcon! Congratulations!
We will proceed with a new concept for charity and merge with the BOM game. We will propose a new pattern three times during the year and collect the blocks during that period.
In other words, we will collect the same block over 3 months and assemble into a quilt.
Mar-Apr-May
