2008 Quilt Show

To All HRQG Members:

We just want to say thanks to all of you who participated in our wonderful Quilt Show.

We could never have done it without ALL of you. This was the best show we have ever put on and makes us proud to be members of such a wonderful group.  It all came together because everyone did her job and pitched in.

The gym was an overwhelming sight and we are fortunate to have such a talented group of people.  We still can’t believe how beautiful it looked !!!
