March Highlights and April Reminer

The next meeting will be April 11th.  Rosan is doing a program on Slice and Dice quilts.

Here are a few highlights of the March meeting.  The program was on paper cutting and was presented by Penny and Sue.  The designs can be used to make machine quilting designs and other projects.
