February meetup

For our February meeting a small number of us braved the winter to see a slideshow of nature photography taken by Dick, Joyce's husband. A few of us also brought nature inspired quilts to show off.






They made rope bowls at retreat.

January meeting

Our January meeting was a fun one We broke off into groups and were handed sheets of 100 Bucket List items. These were all quilting related and we had to mark off ones we had done, as well as ones we wanted to do. We even thought of extras.

After that it was show and tell again.
