What's happening at our Next Meeting..

April 8 Meeting - Featuring

Merci Apodaca

We are delighted to announce that our meeting on April 8 will feature Merci Apodaca as our special guest. Merci will be sharing her personal quilting journey and discussing how she has learned to incorporate her heritage into her quilting projects. Her story reflects a path familiar to many of us, beginning with sewing clothing and naturally progressing to the world of quilting.

We invite you to join us as we explore and learn more about One Quilter’s Journey. This promises to be an inspiring session highlighting creativity, tradition, and personal expression in quilting.
