The GCQ enjoyed hanging out at the Lyman Farm Monday and demonstrating to the school children how to tie a quilt. Several young girls (and a few boys) tried their hand at tying. A charity quilt was also worked on using a utility stitch. The children seemed to have a great time with all the farm animals and other activities available. Patti and Bruce deserved a big hand for putting this on every other year!! Patti is a member of our guild. Tuesday turned out to be a windy/rainy day so we weren't able to share our quilting enthusiasm. Hopefully some of them left thinking about maybe making a quilt or blanket of their own!!! That's the goal!!!
