Wow, what a turn out! Bags everywhere and in every size and shape imaginable. 

It was show and tell heaven here seeing all the bags and patterns and fan favorites for sewing all these wonderful bags. There are bags for every quilter and more.  Favorite places to get patterns, interfacing and hardware was discussed. 

Great sharing and showing.

We actually started the meeting by turning in our Go Geometric Challenge pieces. 

Can you guess the shapes everyone was given?

Amazing turnout for the challenge. Stay tuned to see what shows up at the Lux exhibition in November. Great job everyone! (and those still finishing up)

After all that we still had show and tell....
