Ladies,
I think it's official - I have Spring Fever!!!! I'm looking forward to sharing the love with you at our meeting on Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at 7:00PM at the Civic Center in Farmersville. I can't wait to learn more about the Barn Quilt project!
We had an amazing sew day this past Saturday. JR won a prize from the QOV Foundation - we'll be anxious to find out what it is! Karen made the day special with an hourly raffle drawing and everyone brought food to share. Several quilt tops were completed. I'm so glad we're a part of the QOV initiative.
Is anyone interested in leading the Anniversary Party in June? Let me know.
