We all introduced ourselves and
answered Leigh’s question. . “What is
your favorite way to display your quilts? Answers ranged from quilt ladders,
displayed on beds, sofas, several members said they had installed a curtain rod
on the wall and used curtain clips to hold the quilt.
Barb presented a power point presentation of her
sewing room. It is fun to get a glimpse
into each other’s sewing spaces. This
is the first of several scheduled each month during 2025. Thanks Barb and thanks Katy for organizing
this. Note to others, bring HDMI cord to
connect to library equipment. Up next is Maddie.
