Northwest Quilt Connection - Jan. 10

Registration starts at 9:30 a.m. with the program to start at 10 a.m. and will run to about 1:00 p.m. Bring your sack lunch and show & tell. Guests at $7. Anita says: In 1996 when viewing a Baltimore quilt show, I received a vision of an organization that became "The Appliqué Society". When I got home I mailed out 100+ letters to quilt groups in our Pacific Northwest area. The day came for the organizational meeting and over 80 people came to show their support and that day The Appliqué Society was "born". It is a group organized to promote appliqué.
