Today we indulged all our QUILTY pleasures. First we stopped by the Orr building to attend the Q.U.I.L.T.S. Expo. Then our friends from Springfield Ceramic and Crafts Club helped us make Easter wreaths. We ended the day with a performance from a house favorite, Robert Sampson. A Friday at The Montvale, truly nothing compares. Have a great weekend ☀️🧵
