Ethel created this quilt top out of a deer print and co-ordinating solid colours. 
Gail R showed just how crafty she is when she made this ornament. There is a tiny ball of yarn, needles and a knitted project all inside the ornament ball.

First team to complete the assignment was led by Marlene O. who showed off her lovely antlers. Other captains were Jane K, Leigh S, Gail F, and Brenda R.
