The Lakeside Guild, Chestermere Quilt Show "Country Connections Spring Fair" was a huge success, can I say "WOW" we had the best turnout of quilts EVER and the best turnout of people. Thanks to everyone who took the time to come out to the show and make it a success for all of us a Lakeside Quilters. THANK-YOU!! Celebrating out 10th year as a quilters guild is so rewarding and we still have 5 of the founding members.
