March Is National Quilt Month

To commemorate National Quilt Month, a group of quilters led by Elizabeth Hewett, planned a "School House Quilt In".  Several dozen quilters meet together bringing their quilting projects to work on during the day, but that's not all.  Every hour, an accomplished quilter shared with the group on topics to enhance our knowledge and increase our love of quilting.  

              An amazing time was had by all!
