We have a very active Quilts of Valor group in Ripon.  We make quilts for veterans.  We have most if not all of the WWII Veterans covered, quite literally, with their quilts.  These well deserving vets from our area get a quilt on Memorial Day and at Christmas time at the Dicken’s of a Quilt Show.  This is always the first weekend of December. Bungalow has always been a very

We had our first knitting retreat at the Cedar Ridge Lodge.  The sparks were flying from the knitting needles.  There was lively conversation that was interrupted by moments of silence as retreaters concentrated deeply on their work.
