This season we will be reading books of fiction (based on historical facts). We will discuss the book at our meetings based on sample discussion questions emailed in advance. We will also be making 2 – 4 four inch blocks a month (your choice) from Kathleen Tracy’s School Girl Sampler Quilt book. If you wish to continue with your Dear Jane Quilt, that is fine also.

This is a book group, and you must read the book in advance to join in the discussion. Most books can be obtained at your local library (including digitally).
