We want to thank our many volunteers that contributed to making the 2016 Retreat a weekend filled with friendship, fun, & laughter. Also, many thanks to those of you who gave your time, talents, fabric and donated gifts that were distributed at the KPQG's 20th Annual Retreat. We thank Sew-n-Bee Cozy, Robin's Place Fabrics, Bearly Threaded and Ulmer's for their generous donations.
Some of you requested more information about the mystery quilt. The link below is the location of the mystery quilt done this year. From this page, click "Photos - 2014 Two Color Mystery Quilt". At the top you have the option to download the clues in English or German.
