Our 2008 year long project was The Legacy Sampler designed by the Madison Area EGA.  The chart and instructions are professionally done.  The sampler information is interesting.  And it was a fun sampler to stitch.  We had some members who chose to work on a different project.  Pictured is Dee Vela with her completed project.
