February...

Hope everyone has been able to enjoy some quilting this month.  With this crazy winter weather I have been trying to spend extra time finishing up some projects.  Hopefully spring is just around the corner and new craziness begins...


Don't forget our upcoming Spring Quilt Retreat to be held March 9, 10, and 11 at the Grantsville Library,  10 am to 7 pm each day except Saturday which will be 10 am to 1 pm.  


Verneal shared a tip of the month...a great way to use up those spools of leftover thread.
 Use them up on a scrap quilt, it will all blend in and you'll never know it is the ends of all those spools.  Great idea!!!

๐Ÿ’•Block of the Month๐Ÿ’•

If you are doing the Thankful Skinny, the embroidery block is what should be finished this month.  For the summer Skinny, work on the hexies!

 If you are doing the larger quilts, work at your own pace to complete them.

๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ’˜Mystery Block of the Month
This month we start sewing.  It is very straight forward.  Everyone should be able to keep caught up so far!

Kathy brought her incredible Dear Jane quilt to share.  What an accomplishment!!! It is amazing!!!

  ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—T-Shirt Quilts!!
Crystal gave a great class about making t-shirt quilts.  They can be very daunting but Crystal made it seem so easy.  We can't wait to see all the fun new quilts she has inspired!




January...A New Year and a Clean Slate

January is the month when everyone sets new goals and challenges.  What are your quilting goals for 2017? Lots of new projects?  Finishing WIP's?  Taking classes to learn something new?  Whatever you goals are, be sure to share them with us at Quilt Guild this year.

We will try to keep you motivated with a new Block of the Month, a Mystery Block of the Month, a Guild Retreat, and great demonstrations.  Looking forward to 2017!!!


Sherry gave us some great tips for storage in small areas
