There were 25 members and one guest at our February meeting. The afternoon was very quite, with most of our members away enjoying warmer climates.
Information was received from the Flin Flon Arts Council about the Northern Juried Art Show being held in The Pas on April 26-28th.
Kathy D took these squares home and sewed them together. We cut them pre ragged on our Go -cutter. That made easy work of a rag quilt.
This is another quilt for Rae's challenge.
A Touch Quilt was given to the Community Living Disability Services client, as shown below.
Here is our completed zig zag quilt. Quilted by Kathy of Tamarack Shack.
