Colorado Valley Quilt Guild hosts workshop
Colorado Valley Quilt Guild hosts workshop
LA GRANGE – Wednesday morning’s flooding on Jan. 24 did not deter the members of the Colorado Valley Quilt Guild from attending the “Improv” Workshop with Michelle Lavender. Michelle is from HollyDee Quilts in Luling, Tx. She showed the many ways to transform scraps into quilts, using a “Wonky” cut and an open mind. Her unique way of cutting and piecing was intriguing to each of the members present. 01/31/2024 12:00 AM
