 We had a wonderful evening.

We were a smaller group but we always enjoy getting together.

We have all been waiting to see Jeanene's "Farmers Wife".

Loved it!

This is what we do...
Show our quilts and then everyone Oohs and Aahs.
That is why we love Quilt Group

Then we unveiled  our 2013 Challenage
It was so fun  to see how they are coming together.
We loved them all....

Some are Needle turn applique and some machine.
All fabulous.

We had to have Mary Ann bring her quilt that was the inspiration  for this project.

Lot's of work ahead but we are excited.

 Show and tell
