Hello Friends,

Thank you to the Refreshment Committee, Pat Nahal, Leigh Burba, Jean Mindock,

meal was wonderful.
Linda Griffin joined in February, please make her welcome!
I would like to thank Martha Claycomb for the presentation of the Scarf and Toilet top-
per and Patty Pruitt for the sharing the video on making straight seams and pressing.
They were very informative and will give us all something new to make and help us do
the seams and pressing better.

for you and then give back to you to do the binding.
The Quilters Day out February 27th in Shepherdsville was lots of fun. I hope you were
able to go.
