SWISS DAYS 2013 IN BERNE
Berne Swiss Days are quickly approaching, and the Swiss Stitchers Quilt Guild has announced that the 2013 quilt show will be held July 25-27.
The Swiss Stitchers challenge this year is “Earth, Wind, and Fire.” If you choose to accept this challenge you may choose one or more elements to create a quilted wall hanging. Inspiration may come from color, block style, or the word itself. Quilters are encouraged to be creative.
