April Showers and Mini Quilts

Another wonderful get together with the Syracuse Utah Quilt Guild.  There was lots of news, show and tell and a delightful trunk show from Jill Majers.

Sandra shared lots of news from the Utah Quilt Guild including a reminder that HMQS is coming up soon and if you'd like free admission all it takes is a couple hours of your time to volunteer. Another opportunity is to serve as an officer for the Utah Quilt Guild due to loss of a couple of the officers.  If you are interested, contact Sandra.
