Part of my move to MN a year ago was finding a quilt guild (or two) to join.  Meeting new friends in MN would happen quicker by being around lots of quilters. :)  I joined the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild a few months ago and it's a great group of people.  It's smaller so I've had a chance to meet more people and they are all around my age or younger which is really cool.  We had a speaker attend the meeting Thursday night from the Shriner's Children's Hospital.  She spoke about the hospital and how the quilts the guild has donated have been so wonderful; each child receives a quilt or blanket when they leave the hospital.  I have been looking for a new opportunity to donate quilts and I definitely want to start making some for this wonderful hospital.  I had made this quilt top a few months ago but didn't have a home for it until now.  I quilted it on my Bernina in the hoop and it came out super cute.
