What a fun meeting! I think I could write that a million times! Jacquie Gering shared her quilts with us, Alissa Haight Carlton spoke about MQG and hosted our BOM and we had a great party at Modern Domestic to celebrate, well -- us! I hope everyone had a chance to participate in activities over the weekend too: There was fun to be had by all!
