California Travel Tips
Quilts of Comfort & Joy!
Published on: April 11, 2015
Contributor Berylee Baker recommended we mention quilt events that are going on in California. She took the left photo of a quilt show at a nursery where the quilts were hung on rope between big trees. The right picture shows the Guild of Quilters of Contra Costa County members taking their handmade quilts to hospitalized veterans. Talk about lifting spirits with their gifts! Quilting is one of the most popular types of club activities in the state and on any given day a group is meeting somewhere, participating in a quilt project.
