The Montgomery Quilting Circle's April meeting was attended with 9 members. There were 4 more charity quilts turned in making this 18 completed. Then Show and Tell by Carolyn, then our most helpful hint of the evening came from Linda as she uses a small wallpaper roller to press bias seams as she sews. The Program for the evening was basting the Bear Paw in preparation for quilting. Many hands made the task seem quick and fun. Our next meeting May 8.
