Show and Tell August 2004

We had a wonderful showing of quilts in August 2004. These are the quilts who's owners gave permission for us to show on the website. Every effort has been made to match up the show and tell slip with the picture. If I have gotten it wrong, please email me.

Not all the quilts that were shown in this month had photos taken. This was due to the fact I was using my brand new camera and I had no idea of the capacity of the memory stick, and I found that it was not alot. So we only got a handful of pictures before I ran out of space. I am sorry to all our wonderful show and tell participants. If your quilt is not on here, and you showed it in August, and you have a digital photo of it, I would be happy to add it.
