A huge day at quilting today as Grace stepped into running our workshop for our second Raffle quilt. Grace was called on at the last moment to run the workshop and she did a wonderful job explaining the design and techniques we will require for the making of the quilt. Thanks to our talented Kathy @matobsgirl who has designed this quilt for our 2026 Show. Team work at the various workstations ran smoothly like a well oiled machine. Thank you everyone who participated.
