National Quilting Day a success
The Palm Harbor Museum was practically overflowing with colorful quilts on National Quilting Day last month as Quilter’s Crossing Quilt Guild members were sewing charity quilts to donate as comforting gifts to children and women in need. The love with which they were creating them was a delight to watch.
National Quilting Day at the Palm Harbor Museum benefited children and women in need.
