Rian's Quilt Celebration - December 13, 2016

Rian blessed us with a visit and showed us her" Mama Made It Civil War Sew Along" quilt.  I think we all loved it, and it was so good to see her and her husband, Scott.

Beautiful work.

Diana brought a darling "International" baby quilt to celebrate on Tuesday.

It's sock-monkey fabric!

Wonderful, Diana!

We had a couple of show-and-tells last night, as well as celebrations!

It's still beautiful, Susy!

Lots of fun details, Ruth.  Nice job!

Great job, Deborah!
