July Gathering

On Friday night we all made these art boxes - when you open them up, there is an accordion picture portfolio in it. This was for one of the workshops that Jamie Fingal is teaching at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach in Make-It-University. It was great because we worked out all of the glitches before the kits are made. What a team!
