In July we met in the Hyattsville Municipal Building in a large open space with yellow walls and plenty of light. Carissa & Ashley introduced the plans for our QuiltCon charity quilt and we went on an expedition to
Three Little Birds Sewing Co., just across the street and down a block from the Municipal building.
