January and February

 During the months of January and February we have ZOOM meetings. This was an especially excellent decision because it was cold and snowy this winter!

The members did send in photos of Show and Tell so we could see what they'd been working on.

We also have facebook and instagram that helps us to stay connected.

Kelley Willey held a workshop and taught us how to make a mini quilt on ZOOM. Did you know she has a pet hedgehog?
