November Meeting News

We had a nice turn out for the comfort quilt work during the day on Tuesday. We put together the flower four patches everyone brought in September and October. Photos of that quilt will be posted later.

The crayon challenges were turned in at the meeting and as you can see on the two phots below there were quite a few entries. Can you guess what colour everyone's crayon was?

We were also able to hand out some of our comfort quilts on Tuesday evening. Below are the
quilts we gave to the Creighton Kids North First.

And these are the quilts for the Flin Flon Kids First North.
Do you recognize any of the quilts or blocks you worked on?
