Show and Share is always a highlight of our meetings! Linda made a slide show of the pictures that members sent to her of their projects.
Don't forget to share your Works in Progress (WIPs) and finished quilts on our Members page on Facebook.
Linda taught us all how to make an Interleave Quilt for our program this month. Here are examples of quilts that she has made using this technique.
