Hiroshima Chapter＃261

December monthly meeting was held on Sunday, December 12th at Hiroshima City Machizukuri Shimin Kouryu Plaza.

An interesting workshop was given by Mrs. Rie Yamaguchi, a member of Japan Quilt Art Association. Everything including cutting fabrics and required needlework was kindly well prepared by Mrs. Yamaguchi prior to the workshop, which made it easy and enjoyable for the beginners. We enjoyed creating the quilt art which depicted a tiger, the zodiac sign of the New Year to welcome a happy year of the Tiger, 2022.
