Accomplishments & Works in Progress
Please submit pictures of what you are currently working on or what you may have already finished that you would like to share with the group so that we can all admire each other’s work throughout the year leading up to the next quilt gathering. I will be posting the pictures on the website as soon as I receive them. Please send all submissions either to thequiltgathering@hotmail.com or via mail to P.O. Box 1075, Tonasket, WA 98855. Thank you.
