On September 23rd, our group led a talk about quilting. Who attended? Our very own Carlisle Barrack Wive's club and the wives of the foreign War College students. Bonnie led our discussion using a slide show and we held up samples of our own quilts for the audience. After the discussion we each manned a work station and demonstrated our craft. Our work stations became an assembly line; the end product was a nine-patch table runner that was raffled off to one of the foreign wives. The Chilean wife, who won the table runner, was thrilled to receive it.
