Our January meeting was dedicated to the memory of our guild founder, Shelly Aldrich. We learned how LLQG was formed with 11 members in 2001; how talented, creative Shelley was, and generous in sharing and teaching the fiber arts to new members. Most of all we enjoyed and admired Shelley's quilts, photography, and other art works. UFO: Barbara Haddon and Marjean Evans Show & Tell: Barbara Peebles, Suzanne Hoyt, and Kathy Davidson
