The decision has been made to cancel the Midland Squared Spring Quilt Show.  It has not been determined if it will be held at a later date or postponed until next year.

We want everyone to stay at home a be safe.  Since we are safe and secure in or homes we can do what we love most QUILT.  I know everyone is excited about this.

Congratulations and a big thank you to the ladies that have been making masks for the medical, first responder and others that are in need.  I have completed almost 60 and I am shipping them off to my cousin, and RN in OBGYN.  I have used up lots of fat-quarters and was very lucky I have a large supply of elastic.

As soon as a decision is made I will post.

Stay home and stay safe.
