New Friends Celebrates National Quilting Day

by teaching and sharing together!

OK, so we didn't have a huge turn out of guests but we did offer to the community the opportunity to learn how to piece 6 simple blocks to create their own sampler either to donate or to keep. 6 of the members prepared to teach and we were able to help a few people begin their quilts. You can see above CN's sample block and step by step how to put it together.
The rest of us used the time to either work on our own projects or do some extra community service.
