During 2026 we will celebrate our 30th anniversary by encouraging our members to make a medallion quilt entitled "From Dresden to the Prairie". Our monthly newsletters will feature all the information needed to enable members to make this quilt and there will also be demonstrations and workshops relating to this quilt throughout the year.
