Great turnout in Winfield, IL
What a great turnout we had in Winfield! Came home with 1 completed quilt and 9 tops! Oh, and was there food!! I saw people stopping in just to check us out. We had the pressers going and what a nice job they did as well. Yep, "ask and they will come" is what it's all about. There are definitely people out there that just want to give of themselves and they do. Definitely a great pat on the back goes out to Donna Kelley and her friends. I don't want to start with a list of donators until I get a complete list cause I definitely don't want to miss anyone.
Thank you to everyone who showed up. It was fun.
Rita
