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.







And here's what we saw in Show and Tell:







Members of the Guild Bee made nature-themed blocks for Jamee:


The NewBee will be back next month as it begins its new round!

And finally, we only had two members show MQG Block of the Month blocks this time, but one was a doozy in terms of scale!
