Stitch in the Mall was held at Hamilton Place Mall, and quilters and non-quilters alike came out for the event.

There were examples of projects and quilts the guild members created on the tables. Since the Choo Choo Quilters is such a diverse group, we covered all the bases with examples of our work—from traditional to contemporary. On display was Nancy's feathered star, art wear (an embellished sweatshirt), Sherry's hand embroidered Challenge quilt, examples of charity quilts, a demo on making a 4-patch, and "
Marketplace," one of my improvisationally pieced quilts in a more contemporary style.

This is our guild's postcard that I designed. It showcases snippets from the guild's

It was wonderful to see quilting friends from other guilds and several quilters who have taken classes with me. Celebrating Worldwide Quilting Day 2015 was a fun reunion.
