April 2012


It was a beautiful spring day in a beautiful setting at Susan's home on the banks of the Boise River. Thank you Susan for hosting this month!
Lori told us this month that she will be moving to Spokane the end of May.  :(  We are soooo sad to lose her from our group, we've been so inspired by many of her quilts and ideas. But we know how happy she will be to have her husband at home more. Lori, we wish you the best always. We can't wait to hear of your adventures and of your new quilting buddies in Spokane! Please stay in touch!
Here are the show and tells:
The first four are projects made by Diane and the young girls she is teaching to sew.
