It is part of the charity quilt series currently being assembled by quilters…
We had a great turn up for our first meeting of the year, lots of chatting, lots of people walking around, groups huddling, it was a hive of activity. We started off with show ’n tell. I have lots of pics – I got a new camera for Xmas, so I’m still getting used to…
