Blog is Moving to a New Venue

The CT Quilters Quilts of Valor Group in Tampa, FL is still going strong – the final count for quilts for 2014 was 80+.  What a remarkable achievement for a relatively small, but active and growing group!

Please join us at the monthly meeting of this group at any time.

For information on meeting dates and times, please contact the Crafty Threads Quilt Shop at (813) 855-3066.  Meetings are held at the Shop on Racetrack Rd (#12230) in Tampa, FL:

Dec Meeting Recap

December's meeting for the CT Quilters QOV Group was a potluck luncheon that did not include sewing.  A good time of fellowship was had by all and excellent food was happily consumed!

The Leader asks "Are You Ready to Party?!"

But as is always the case with quilters, there were several wonderful contributions.

The first was made by Janet K:

And the second by Lize B:

Aren't they fabulous?!

  What a great way to close out 2014!!

All We Want For Christmas ... Bring 'em Home.
