2014 started out with a bang with our special guest speaker, Sarah Kaufman, author of Folded Log Cabin Quilts. Sarah is a resident of Bend and aren't we lucky to have her! She brought a unique collection of quilts. The log cabin ideas were an excellent way to inspire us for our own Log Cabin quilt challenge.
