October 2016

Lurdes friend Peggy taught us about applique at the October meeting. She told us about a famous quilt made by Mary Mannakee.  She also taught us how to needle turn applique a heart.

Peggy has been working on this Baltimore Album quilt for 10 years.  She told us to check out the quilts of  the Baltimore Quilt Society to see more.
