THE JULY MEETING
Last night Gayle Pritchard was our speaker. She spoke to us about the roots of art quilting being in Ohio. It was an informative lecture, and I learned many things about the origins of art quilting that I didn't know before. This is Gayle with her book on Ohio Art Quilt History.
Show and tell photos are on the last page of the guild photo album which was also updated today.
