Community Quilting–Full Steam Ahead

There have been some finishes on the community quilts and the ladies have been busy working on getting some stock together.

Our friends west of us may be in need of some quilts in the coming winter months after the devastating floods they have experienced in the past couple of weeks.

Some cute little motifs put together in a log cabin style.  This would be perfect for a little girl.  One of the members will now put the layers together and quilt it.

Happy quilting……..
