Inside this issue:

FVQI meetings are typically filled with activities, reports, speakers, and trunks shows. Our  End of Year Social provides an opportunity to relax and spend time with quilting friends, linger over show and tell, and gaze upon the 2008 Challenge entries. This Potluck Dinner is always a hit. It shows that quilting is not our members only talent.  

 

2008 Quilt Show Pins will be available for sale at this meeting.
