Syracuse Utah Quilt Guild

We had an amazing guest speaker, Nannette Holmberg, 
the talented creator of Chenille-It Blooming Bias Tape.

She demonstrated how to apply her Chenille-It to our quilts
and had a trunk show of her many beautiful quilts.

She also told us about her interesting background as a clothing designer 

of wedding dresses.
