Thanks to Volunteers at IQF Chicago

Thanks to everyone who volunteered at International Quilt Fest 2016 Chicago, (Rosemont,IL) last weekend. We couldn't do it without you. It was great to see so many smiling faces! A big thank you to Denise Havlan and Sara Hochhauser for coordinating the SAQA table.
