Ladies,

I hope you are having a wonderful meeting. I am sorry to miss Faith's lessonon English paper piecing; however, I am on a yacht, touring the GalapagosIslands!! I am taking lots of photos and am planning a quilt from those pho-tos.

Be inspired, be creative. I will see you in April!

Happy Quilting!Donna Wesemann
