3/17/16 - CCLQ @ Ruth S.

Welcome to another meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!! Today we were at Ruth S's home due to Gayle needing to cancel to take care of her DH. (She's hoping to be back next week!) We were treated to fresh coffee and homemade Irish Soda Bread. It was Ruth's first time EVER and the recipe turned out perfectly. Nicely done, Ruth!

SHOW AND TELL...
