Quilt Shop Sharing

North Carolina

 

 

 

On a recent trip out east, there was this sweet little quilt shop..... Thimble Pleasures.

 

If you are ever in Chapel Hill, North Carolina it is a wonderful side step and well worth it.

 

This is a cute little panel they had, which just had to be purchased.

 

Ronald McDonald House

This year COMQG is working on a quilt for the Ronald McDonald House of Central Oregon.

Members are working on house blocks, which will all go together into a lap size quilt.

The quilt will then be auctioned off to raise money for the local charity.

Stay tuned for progress on the RMD House Quilt Project.
