Director, Quilt Museum
The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, May 26, at the Levy County Quilt Museum. It was a very nice fellowship day. We had lots of new books to look at and finding out how many more need our prayers.
Next week we are cleaning the Museum of so much we don’t need. The kitchen is full of all kinds of stuff.  We’ll pull it all out and put the duplicates on the north porch and try to get rid of it.  More about that later.
