The following were some of today's Show & Tell:
Jackie Carley with a quilt made for her by Mary Lee. Jackie said it was all about a bad day she had, when her sun roof opened automatically, & all the snow that was on top landed inside. She was throwing snowballs out of her car to get rid of the snow, & other divers were looking at her funny.
Kay Fiero did a Christmas table runner,
& a humming birds quilt.
Louise Bremner donated this pretty top to the Comfort Quilt Committee.
Irene Stewart showed this scarf she made to wear to her son's wedding.
