March Sew and Tell

As always Sew and Tell was wonderful. I do
have to apologize to those of you who brought
sew and tell and do not see it here. My camera decided
not to record pictures for about 10 frames. If you
are one of these people and want your project on the
blog, then bring it to Quilt Guild meeting and we will
try it again. So Sorry!!!

class on how to make it at Seasons of Home.
