Show & Tell - May 2015
The kitchen crew decorated with a beach theme and invited anyone to wear a hat which several did to bring on the summer after such a wintery winter!
The quilt challenge was revealed and voted upon. Each block represents an adjetive...some were pretty tough but all came through. Great job by all participants and special thanks to Jane for pulling it off!
Show & Tell - April 2015
The highlight of the April "show 'n tell" was the unveling of a library cart which will be housed in the basement of the Church. Yes, there is an elevator. Diane and Linda no longer will have to lug those heavy library books to and from the car.

Karen Eckmeier's (our guest lecturer/teacher) method of layering and topstitching technique in her landscape quilts as well as in clothing and other quilts are stunning. Karen turns fabric into pieces of quilted art work.
