We moved our normally on a Monday meeting to Wednesday so we could enjoy the company of some quilters from Canada (well, not all, but let’s not get sidetracked). Lots of photos to share of the show and tell! Click on any photo and you’ll see all the photos as a slideshow.
• Websites for quilt teachers mentioned: Anna Hergert, Suzie Shia, Dana Roman
• Fabric from Sugar Pine Company and Quilted Raven
