The Traveling Exhibit is looking a little shop-worn and needs some major updating! Please contribute something new to display in the exhibit for as long as you are willing to part with it. We are especially looking for items that will showcase how everyone's talents have developed. Our guild members are doing such wonderful and advanced work now; let's show it off to the community! Thanks to everyone for their participation.
