Hello, Blue Ridge Quilters. Be sure to see the last paragraph for important information.

President Kathy Wickham opened the meeting by reading a passage “In The Beginning” from a book entitled Pieces. Toward our community service projects, Claire Hightower showed us a Fidget Quilt she had made and Kathy Wickham offered Scent Baby templates.

There was, of course, some beautiful Show and Tell where members and guests show projects they have completed or are working on or are donating as part of community service projects.
