March Potluck was a great success.  The plan was to have a potluck quarterly but with my travel plans, Niece Tori Wedding, I had to choose to do it early or late. It’s early.  Let’s get together again for a potluck in May.  Let’s come together to learn, grow, and inspire one another.  I’ll have lots of information from the May Handi Quilter Training and the H & H show to share. You are still welcome to bring anything to show as we love to see quilts.
