March meeting and swap

Our March meeting was a swap, where we asked members to bring fabric, notions and any other crafty type things they didn't want any more. We set up tables to display all the items as people brought them in. We eventually had to set up a total of FIVE tables to hold it all!

Rather than have a huge free for all with everyone grabbing things at once, we drew groups by last name initial. This seemed to work really well. By the end, we had two garbage bags left for donations.

Then the ever popular show and tell.

Heather made a knitting needle roll from a placemat / table runner purchased finished from Walmart.

She made a quilt for her son.

Heather also participated in the Desert Sky workshop and got hers quilts by Ridge Machine quilting and bound in time for the meeting.

For our February meeting a small number of us braved the winter to see a slideshow of nature photography taken by Dick, Joyce's husband. A few of us also brought nature inspired quilts to show off.

They made rope bowls at retreat.

January meeting

Our January meeting was a fun one We broke off into groups and were handed sheets of 100 Bucket List items. These were all quilting related and we had to mark off ones we had done, as well as ones we wanted to do. We even thought of extras.

After that it was show and tell again.
