Quilt Show March 22, 2006

The United Methodist Women of the Bonner Springs United Methodist Church held a quilt show and tea Saturday, March 18, at the church. About 50 women gathered to pay homage to the time-honored craft.

Painstaking craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this example of the quilter's art.
