It's always nice to get together again after the busy holidays.
Katie reminded us that sometimes we "slip," and we have to get back up and finish those projects!
Some of the quilters still had Christmas on their minds. . .
While some quilters were looking ahead (or catching up) to Fall and Halloween! The Irish Chain and Girl Block Exchange were stunning.
You don't always have to finish a large project. These mini quilts are perfect for hanging on the wall for decorating your home or sewing room!
Verneal's Tip of the Month was about using different containers for a small travel-size sewing kit. She mentioned that an old glasses container works great, as well as view-tainers (which can be purchased at Home Depot). Carolyn brought a cute way to store sewing supplies, too.
BLOCK OF THE MONTH: For the next two months, you should be working on Section 2. Click on the 2014 BOM tab above to get additional helps.
CLASSES: The embroidery and beginning quilting classes started up after the meeting. These classes are now full, but they will likely be offered again later in the year.
NEXT MONTH: Remember to bring any quilt or project that shows texture and dimension. Along with that, we will be learning about the 10-minute 3-seam block. No supplies are needed. Just come and enjoy the presentation and be prepared to participate with your quilt or project that has texture or dimension.
