Work began on our QuiltCon Charity quilt with lots of cutting, sewing and pressing. Stay tuned for the next sew day for this project.

Jim's birthday is coming up so we surprised him with a Happy Birthday song and cookie. We hope he has safe travels for the next several months!

We enjoyed a visit from our new friend, Marla, who stopped by the museum on her way to Paducah. She was nice enough to help us get started on our QuiltCon quilt! Check out her Facebook page, Penny Lane Quilts. 

Our next sew day will be November 11th, 2017.
