The April meeting captured everything that makes our quilting community strong: education, charity, friendship, and fun!
We honored several generous members with the Lone Star Award: Tom DeMoss, Cari Dooley, Linda Neal, and Stacey Procter.
Rob Appell’s demo gave us a fun new twist on bags, and both days of his workshops were filled with joy and color.
