• Triple Treat Is A Finish!--post 5 (blogspot.com) — A local quilter just finished a long-running "Triple Treat" project with quilting help from the Gresham Senior Center's quilt group, who used a Bamboo Swirls pattern. The 60-by-72-inch scrap quilt was bound and labeled at an in-person sew day, and will be gifted later this year after using over ten yards from the maker's fabric stash.
