I think there are other videos on the same website but haven't checked them out yet.

Any tips on organizing and storage are good to know.

March Meeting

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Are you Irish?  or do you just love Ireland?
Here is a quilt for you.

The March meeting was held on March 12 with a trunk show from
Deb. H.   She had everything from family heirlooms to the contempory designs she has made for her family.  Thanks for sharing.

Val donated a small quilt for a door prize that was won by Laurie Page.

We are excited to hear that Colleen has a quilt accepted into the Paducah quilt show.
