Bountiful Beginnings, 2010 - 2011

This is the Bountiful Beginnings Traditional Round Robin.  It was for Newbies, but you would never know it from their lovely work!  This round robin started in 2010 and finished up in 2011, and the original participants were Ely, Marilynne, Misty, Lisa A, and Gina.  However, a couple of the ladies had to drop out, and Kerry also served as a stitching Angel for both of them.
