Utah Valley Quilt Guild Meeting
October 16, 2013
The Forum was taught by Francine Berrett: 25 Fun Quilting Tips and Tools for the Trade. My favorite tool was the electric mustache trimmer (from Wal Mart for approx, $12.00). Thank you, Francine for a lot of great tips.

This scrappy quilt was made as a result of my Bee Group exchange of 2 and 1/2 inch strips.
Raven's Quilt by Liz Laney
Raven was born at 25 and 1/2 weeks and has spent 8 months in the hospital. Raven is now home - miracles do happen. She is my great-granddaughter. She was born on election night while I was up at the quilt retreat in Park City.
I started the quilt that night.
