September PATCH

At their September meeting, PATCH members brushed up on their paper piecing skills by making nametags for the new Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild members. There were some fabric frustrations, with a few members ripping seams and starting over, but they ultimately stitched together a colorful collection of new nametags.

September Outreach Update

Three Comfort Quilts and one We Honor With Quilts for a veteran in hospice care were donated at the September meeting. 

Thank you to everyone who donates their materials, time, and talent to the guild's outreach program.
