“Ready, Set, Library!”
Twenty-two members from the Colorado Valley Quilt Guild attempted something new with the Guild’s Quilt of Valor Project. Scraps of patriotic material were cut into various lengths and widths, and each Member was asked to make 8 1/2” or 9 1/2” blocks using a Log Cabin design.
Registration remains open until April 1 for those wishing to join more than 1,000 birders who will flock to the coast, forests, prairies and mountains of Texas to compete in the nation’s biggest, longest and wildest bird watching tournament.
