On February 6th we gathered for the Valentine's celebration of our quilt guild with a meeting and social that emphasized RED!
 |
| Displaying our red attire, and because we were so close to the end of retreat, members lined up for Show and Tell. |
Our program on this night was the social, where we had YUMMY treats made from The ECQG Cookbook and a longer than usual time for visiting, chatting and discussing all manner of quilting! During the Social part of the night,
Marj Deveau showed Retreat photographs that were taken by Pat Kennedy, Pat Parrill and Kathy Feltmate during the retreat. Marj added her own special touches to some of the photos and made many of us laugh as we enjoyed the show. Displaying our red attire, we had a great time, and because we were so close to our retreat ending, members showed a lot of Show and Tell.
Pat Kennedy was VERY decked out in her red, and worked hard to organize the social...here she is!
Below are many of the quilts, made both at retreat and at home, and we thank you-all for coming out to this fun February meeting.

Anyone have any?-contact Joan.
