Chatham Quilters – December 2007

 

 

Dear Chatham Quilters:

It’s that busy, hectic, fun time of year with parties, family, friends and even an unfinished project or two that we plan to finish in the New Year.  As you reflect on 2007 may it bring a smile to your face and a warm, cozy feeling to your heart.  May your holidays be special!

Merry Christmas, Sandy
