The North Georgia Folk Festival took place on Saturday, October 5th. Thanks to all of the volunteers for helping out: Phyllis, Kathy, Terri, Sandy Jordan, Julie Allen, Lola Gazda, Ginny Lynch, Nupur Kittur and Marty Tanner-Hughes.
We had both boys and girls try piecing and even one Mom. The children ranged in ages 3 – 9 years old – yes, a 3 year old made her block by herself! Other kids colored blocks or arranged paper patches on a 16 square block.
