March:  "Meet the Quilters" - Where we started, past and current projects

 

The Board of Directors presented a show and tell of their first, middle and recent projects.  The purpose of this activity was to demonstrate to our guild members that we have all levels of skill in our group, and even the most accomplished members began with limited skills.  Every quilt is a work of art and we hope everyone will bring their projects to share with the group.
