April started out with the NCN guild participating at the Original Sewing & Quilt Expo with a booth selling magazines, books, sewn items,  three wonderful opportunity quilts and displaying the many talents of our guild.  Thanks to the many members who volunteered, set up, displayed and helped in so many ways.



Our April meeting brought many wonderful "Show and Tell" quilts, a jelly roll rug, bags and pillows.  We also had many members complete community serve quilts, pillowcases and dog beds.  Thank you all for your efforts!
