Snow and ice has been(and still is)a problem in our neck of the woods this winter, causing us to go two straight months without a business meeting. An executive decision was made that it is more important that we keep on schedule making donation quilts, so we will let the business meeting ride until our regularly scheduled time in February (second Tuesday).
It's that time of year again...when dues are due...you may pay them at any meeting.
The following pictures are from our last gathering almost two weeks ago...
Paula and Pat...look at Paula's man quilt.
Janette...intent on her quilting!
Patti and Ruth getting another one ready to pen. See that big bag of thread on the table...we've shifted from tying with the tread to doing the bigger utility stitch...it's quick and looks really attractive.
Judy (one of our longarm quilters) and Elaine doing the utility stitch.
The Bettys and Ruth checking out the progress of the homespun top.
Yuummm!! Taco Soup and all the fixins courtesy of Brenda.
Loraine (another longarmer) and Brenda fold up another quilt sandwich.
Soups ready...time to eat!
Tomorrow, the 18th, we will meet at the First Methodist Church and have Show, Tell and Ask...and probably work more on donation quilts.
Next week, on the 25th, we will have our meeting at The Quilt Shop On The Square. Since there are quite a few newbie quilters in the guild, Pam will put on a program with all the information a new quilter should know to have a satisfying quilting experience.
Y'all stop by and join us!!!
