October 2016 Meeting Recap

What a great meeting!

We surprised our first NJMQG President, Melanie Tuazon, with a quilt to thank her for all of the work she has done for our guild. So many members worked on the front of the quilt. The back has blocks with members’ signatures on them.

We presented Aubrey with a get well gift:
