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.
