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. |
