Hi, Hope everyone got to see the pictures of the quilt show if they didn't get to the show itself-if not we will have pictures in the scrapbook for you to enjoy-we always bring it to the guild meetings so...
Congrats to Nancy Davis for receiving top honers for both the guild and visitor ballots-love your quilt! It would so fit well into my decor-okay just dreaming. Congrats to Joan Stover, Andrea Kroening and Chris Fuqua as well, good job!
