Here are nine very Happy Quilters.
Start with me at the back,
LeeAnn,
Karen,
Andrea,
Jackie, front row:
Jessica, Helen ( no blog yet but coming soon :0) ,
Bonnie and our fantastic hostess
Victoria.
What happens when quilters get together all with different ages, talents, and life experiences ? You party! But with quilters you create, you share your creation and talk about it, what color would add more? How big do I make this? You listen to what others have done that worked for them. It all just releases a special kind of creativity being in the environment where you don't have to worry about cooking, cleaning, transporting anyone and the million of others things women do in a day. In a nut shell its being set free with your sewing machine to do as you please in a supportive environment of terrific ladies. All I can say is it was Inspiring and a fun time was had by all!
