Native Dawn 2021 Opportunity Quilt




We are sorry to announce that our 
Annual Quilt Show for 2020
 will not be held this year due to the Pandemic!
The Quilt you see to the left 
" Native Dawn"
will become our 2021 Opportunity Quilt.
This is the first time in 30 years that
 we have not held our show
 and we are all dissapointed, 
however it is more important 
that everyone stay safe. 
We hope that you will join us next year!
