WEBSTER, N.Y. — Members of the Webster Quilt Guild have been busy batting and binding fabrics of all colors, designs and styles for the Quilt Show later this month. “Wee Quilts” will be for sale to support the guild's community outreach projects.
"Each one is so different," said Jen Ulrich, Webster Quilt Guild. "There are different fabrics and different styles. Quilters are very generous people and they love to play with their fabrics."

"For me, it’s made quilting so much fun," said Ulrich. "I love to do it and I love to give back and I like to say on my quilts that there is a hug in every stitch."
