Happy New Year!
We kicked the new year off looking at quilts past and present. Several members brought one of their first quilts and a recent project and the rest of us had to guess whose was whose.
Not easy!
Here are a few of the “Old” quilts…..
And some of the New….
Guessing was the hardest part!
We also swapped sewing room notions, Yankee Swap style, with some fierce competition going on.

 |
| Pat peruses her options…. |
SHOW & TELL
