Star of Maghrib - A Quiltville Winter Mystery!

Welcome to our yearly Quiltville Winter Mystery!

Pack your bags and prepare your fabrics.

We are embarking on a creative journey to a land where ancient artistry meets the midnight sky - Morocco!

The Maghrib is a region in Northwest Africa comprised of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, and the territory of Western Sahara.

I hope!

Another Retreat In The Books!

It was a bit brisk in the morning when we stepped out to grab a group pohoto -

Some had to leave early, and our group mom was switching out mid retreat to attend grandkid events! 

It was a revolving door of quilters and quilt projects and it just added to the happy chaos.

The October Quiltvillians retreat also put us on the countdown to the end of the season.

They were our "Three retreats to go!" group!
