March meeting recap

Once again, the members of the CJMQG converged in Hopewell to talk quilts!

Don't forget to sign up for the CJMQG shop hop bus trip! Open to members and nonmembers alike!

For this month's Member Spotlight, Krishma shared lots of pieces from her quilt journey. She started sewing at a young age on a treadle machine, and now she's a longarmer! Amazing.
