 We had many, many Charity quilts on display.  

























Helen Shaver took 11 quilts to the Fairfax County nurses and Mary Mazzuchi took 14 quilts to Mother Of Light.  There were two more on display at the meeting, but these are being held until the workshop because they are workshop patterns.



Helen Shaver had 2 quilts to show.  These were tops that were donated by Ruth and finished by Helen.



Libby Dudley had blocks and small quilts to show.

This applique circle block was from the class taught by Tina Wujick.


These are 6 1/2" blocks were made with scraps from Veronica Abrams.



This is the front and back of her Star Placemat, made from an orphan block with modern fabric for the back.

This is a placemat with an orphan block center and a piano key border.
