Sandra Schufelt spent her holiday break (between Christmas and New Years) finishing UFOs. (Clearly hers are much closer to completion than mine are!)

Then it was time for the reveal of entries for the 2017 "Bars" challenge! A long line formed, some looking a bit tired from the last minute finishing session.
Some entries were whimsical and fun...

Amish Bars, by Dorothy Doerrer |
There are 24 entries, and not all are shown here; mostly because the picture I took isn't very good. I will make a separate post with good pictures of each quilt after the display is hung in the Richmond Memorial Library.
After that, we had a wonderful presentation from Story teller Cathleen Wiggs. Performing a character named Lily, she tells stories of life and quilts from the civil war era. (Quilts shown here are reproductions made by Cathleen.)
If you get a chance to hear Cathleen speak, I suggest you take it!
In February we will enjoy a visit from
Jack Edson, who makes fabulous portrait quilts!
