On Thursday Sept. 14th we will be having our official wrap-up meeting to discuss anything that we might do to improve the workings of the show for next year. We will share this info with you at our guild meeting on Sept. 17th. Your ideas are always welcome, so don’t hesitate to let us know what you think. Thanks.

Jeannie Hoffner of Big Bear City won this year’s opportunity quilt, “Vintage Gardens”. To quote Jeannie….”I’m thrilled to have won this beautiful quilt.
