Week end at Wakefield, VA
Over the past week end (April 3-5 2009) there were sixteen guild members who traveled from the Tidewater area to Wakefield, VA for a week end of quilting fun, relaxation and to celebrate our sixteenth anniversary as a quilt guild. Darryl Randolph (digital Darryl) taught us a computer class on Digital pattern making. We also completed thirty-five juvenile patterned pillow cases for a local shelter for victims of domestic violence. We all had a great time.
