March Meeting Notes and Pics

The GreatFul Threads program for the Month of March was 3-D flowers. Wonderful examples of ruching, folded and layered flowers were shown and practiced. Fabrics used were cotton, felt and silk. It was a fantastic program and we look forward to seeing what creative projects and quilts are brought for Show 'n Tell in April.
